Bøger af Ciara Shuttleworth

In this wonderful collection of poems, Night Holds Its Own, CiaraShuttleworth lives up to the early promise of her best known work, theastonishing "Sestina." Her territory is the human heart and mapped hereinis the confusing nexus of love, loss, and above all, desire. Its inhabitantsare a restless tribe, seeking in motion what they have lost in their all tootemporary couplings. "I'm concentrating on the rear-view/like I'm goingsomewhere." In these poems, natural forces promise both oblivion andredemption; lightening is shroud and wedding dress, and the scent of the ocean can track you down even in the middle of the desert. This collection will leave you, like the "What Sings Is the Drunk Boy's Hands," ..".always singing, One more, just one more."- Robert Schenkkan, Pulitzer prize and Tony Award winning author
