Bøger af Matthew Huff

In his second collection of poems, Matthew Huff explores the quiet poignancy of nostalgia without abandoning his affection for the beauty and wonder of life. Evoking the all-too-familiar notes of childhood, memory, love, loss, and healing, Tin Soldier is a soft touch in a crowded room, a moment of recognition in the midst of a fast and frightening world. In this personal, yet dynamic new book, Huff offers his readers a chance to see their own sorrows and joys through fresh eyes as he examines everything from birds and braces to teaching and falling in love with his characteristically striking style.

In The Cardinal Turns the Corner, Matthew Huff revels in the richness of life as his poems span an extensive spectrum, ranging from a coffee outing with Beethoven to the quiet turmoil of making the bed. Whether he is observing the pain of loss and grief ("A Quiet Pond in Camden", "Math", "Grief") or simply the sheer delight of living ("My Daughter Speaks with Thunder", "Passion", "Play"), Huff's poetic voice illuminates the imagination, inviting the reader to see the wonder in even the simplest of moments.
