Bøger af Catherine Abbey Hodges

There is a brilliant subtlety to this witnessing, a knowing tenderness that explores our relationships with the natural world and those we love. These poems exalt the moment and explore the geography of memory, with a spare clarity that evokes our finest lyric poets' imaginations. --Lee Herrick, author of Gardening Secrets of the DeadBecause she's honed the art of looking inward and outward at the same time in Raft of Days, Catherine Abbey Hodges writes poems that manage to be small and also large, quiet while eventful, realistic yet reverent, both evocative and clear. Her poetry produces more than pleasure. It is an antidote to despair.--Susan Cohen, author of A Different Wakeful AnimalIn Catherine Abbey Hodges' second collection of poems, . . . the complexities of faith huddle close to the ordinary work of cooking, making lists, and keeping a steady breath. This is an authentic and beautiful book. --Emma Trelles, author of Tropicalia

Takes us into the territory of memory, where 'in a distant city', someone falls down stairs and makes 'a song of it', where siblings speak of family secrets that make breathing different, where selflessness is the mother's gift to her children. These poems are close and personal, affectionate.
