Bøger af Thomas Reiter

In these poems, Thomas Reiter crafts authentic lives, both autobiographical and fictional, historical and contemporary, across a wide range of locales, maintaining a steady focus on the lore of occupations while revealing the speakers' crucial connection to the natural world.

Thomas Reiter's new book of poems demonstrates faith in the ability of the human voice to shape memory - its powers and boundaries, freedoms and limitations - into enduring form. A variety of speakers and locales flourish on these pages, including invented, historical, contemporary, and familial figures.

These poems, inclusive of so many perspectives and voices, enter wide sweeps and strong currents of history, not to generalize or point a moral but rather to render moments in the lives of people caught in the effects of time's passing.
