Bøger af Max Heinegg

A deeply moving meditation on place, space, childhood, fatherhood, and family, Going There is also a profound study of arrival and departure, natality and mortality, and gifts of inheritance-from Thoreau, Hayden, Yeats, Bono, Golden Age of Rome poets-and the earth, a verse made exquisite by Heinegg's sensitivity to mythic histories both ancient and futuristic, the "open secret of our solid dust," and the "domestic alchemy" of enduring love. Going There commemorates new life, grief, and the search for grace in timeless, tender poems "riveted to invisible worlds."--Virginia Konchan, author of Bel Canto

Good Harbor is a book of poems about trying to provide shelter for the ones we love. In poems rooted in New England and New York, Max Heinegg writes about parenting and teaching, navigating the rough waters of life to find safety in the harbors of home and community. Max's poems are grounded in places and real-life experience, but also draw on a lifelong passion for music, history, mythology, cooking, exploring nature, and a quarter-century in the classroom. His work reveals what is magical in the mundane and the complexity of the expected.
