Bøger af Andrew Jarvis

Andrew Jarvis' Landslide commits now and ever to a future where ruins-the human predicament-might squish in bogs until waterways bear melons and dead seabirds revive sacredness, the bottom and top of the same landscape and slide, without distraction of cliché. Landslide is a wonderful read-lyrical as the miracle of waking up alive every morning.Finalist in the 2017 Foreword Review Book of the Year AwardsWinner of the 2017 Nautilus Silver Medal for Poetry

Sojourners explores and contrasts the promise and the reality of life in the country and in the city, each with its set of wonders and disappointments, beauty and hardship. The wilderness and natural world inspire, frighten, and challenge us. The city's opportunities, structures, and support of society excite and embolden, but ultimately may fail us. We must always find a new beginning. The collection abounds with multisensory poetry that evokes feelings of hope, loss, humor, and sadness. Poems weave throughout ornate landscapes to create sentimental, permanent memories of family and belonging, of culture and home.
