The Impossibility of Epithalamia - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

In The Impossibility of Epithalamia, David Landrum inquires into the nature of love’s pleasures and pitfalls and in particular what he calls “the alchemy of marriage”. Landrum’s keen observances on this theme (not only in the title poem, but also in such pieces as “Advice to a Son” and “Crazy Quilt”), as well as those of loss and its accompanying bitterness (“Letters Congruent”, “Toronto, 1969”, “Whitefish Point”), home (“Revenant”) and faith (“Abandoned Chapel”), explore and communicate the complexity and fragility of human relationships in a wonderfully understated and plainspoken style. ~ Catherine Chandler
