Contact Sheet - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

The roots of the word “photography” mean to “write with light.” In Contact Sheet, David M. Frye uses words as the lights and shadows that describe the fine-grain details of the ordinary world. This work, his first collection of poetry, reflects his posture as a poet and photographer, a Pennsylvania native who lives in Nebraska, and a lifelong traveler of the pathways between the analytical and creative realms.

“David Frye’s Contact Sheet brings a much needed heart to contemporary poetry. It’s a relief and revelation to read a poet so open to the teachings found in the quietest of moments. These poems brighten this planet like ‘a pair of ... steely eyes shining in the dark.’”

—Aimee Nezhukumatathil, author of Lucky Fish
