The God of Longing - Brent Calderwood - Bog

Bag om The God of Longing

Mark Doty says of Brent Calderwood''s debut collection of poetry, The God of Longing: The man who speaks in Brent Calderwood''s poems longs for the affective, erotic and soulful bond between two men that we''d like love to be, yet he also understands that love occupies a fault zone, a territory of fracture and slippages. That''s the rocky landscape of this book, but struggle is also a source of education, and Calderwood''s poetic voice is increasingly tempered, not lacking hope but perhaps no longer believing in the easy magic love might once have seemed. Here an adult gay man looks at the stuff of a life with both tenderness and a clear, steady gaze.
