Bøger af Mercedes Lawry

Winner of the 2nd WaterSedge Poetry Chapbook Contest from Writer's Relief, IN THE EARLY GARDEN WITH REASON is a collection of 24 poems that explores the interweavings of our efforts to make sense of life's absurdities, sorrows and the natural world. Through lyric and story, the poems swerve from the idiosyncratic to the deeply intimate, tracing loss, injustice and the fragility of the human experience that, at times, can only be met with a roll of the eyes. Judge Molly Peacock called the poems "complex and winsome, bewildered and wise, linguistically rich but utterly straightforward, fraught with the ambiguity of both hope and resignation." Mercedes Lawry's third chapbook elevates her proclivity for dark humor and poignancy, and is not for the faint of heart.
