Heard-Hoard
Angebote / Angebote:
Winner of the Alice Fay di Castagnola Award from the Poetry Society of America, this collection of verse from Atsuro Riley offers a vivid weavework rendering and remembering an American place and its people. Recognized for his “wildly original� poetry and his “uncanny and unparalleled ability to blend lyric and narrative, � Atsuro Riley deepens here his uncommon mastery and tang. In Heard-Hoard, Riley has “razor-exacted� and “raw-wired� an absorbing new sequence of poems, a vivid weavework rendering an American place and its people. At once an album of tales, a portrait gallery, and a soundscape, an “inscritched� dirt-mural and hymnbook, Heard-Hoard encompasses a chorus of voices shot through with (mostly human) histories and mysteries, their “old appetites as chronic as tides.� From the crackling story-man calling us together in the primal circle to Tammy figuring “time and time that yonder oak, � this collection is a profound evocation of lives and loss and lore.
