Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Winner of the 2016 Charlotte Mew Prize The centerpiece of Odd Mercy is 'The Little Mommy Sonnets,' a crown of sonnets that carries us poignantly through the life and death of the poet's mother, as well as their complicated bond over time. I was impressed with Gail Thomas' dedication to craft, her richness of detail and especially her deft transitions from the end line of one sonnet to the opening line of the next. The challenge here is to repeat the line, but to make it new, to show us another facet, and Thomas does that so skillfully in these poems, propelling us forward through the narrative. Poetry uses words to convey what is beyond words, to say the unsayable. The last line of Odd Mercy expresses this paradox tenderly as the poet reflects on her mother: 'your words/now gibberish, your voice always in my head.'-Ellen Bass, Judge of the Charlotte Mew Prize The stunning centerpiece of Odd Mercy, 'The Little Mommy Sonnets' explores a complicated mother/daughter relationship that is turned on its head by dementia. 'Did we find each other too late or just in time ' asks the daughter as her mother's 'sharp tongue dissolves' and her own 'armor melts.' Beautifully written, heartfelt, generous, and forgiving, all the poems in this collection touched my heart deeply. Gail Thomas is a poet of tremendous talent.-Lesléa Newman, author of I Carry My Mother On Waving Back (2015) These are poems of authority and grace, alive with the pulse of desire and the mystery of our deep connections.-Joan Larkin Thomas brings precise observation and earned wisdom to poems in which the 'bitter and the sweet entwine.'-Robin Becker.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Wendy DeGroat's Beautiful Machinery is a fine collection of intelligent, witty and moving poetry. She is direct without ever being simple. Her ear is excellent and she creates webs of sound. She writes love poems that are sensual and never sentimental. These poems bring you in contact with someone you want to know.-Marge Piercy, award-winning author of a memoir, 17 novels, and 19 books of poetry, most recently Made in Detroit Reading Wendy DeGroat's poetry makes me think of the phrase, 'daily bread.' Precise imagery, the joy of internal rhymes, and the light touch of formality are abundant in these poems. Attuned to the music of spoken word, DeGroat's lyricism and her sense of connection to the natural world, to the 'beautiful machinery' of the beloved's body, provide substance and sustenance for the heart, for the imagination.-Janice Gould, author of Doubters and Dreamers, and the forthcoming chapbook, The Force of GratitudeWendy DeGroat's Beautiful Machinery draws its title from 'Running Late,' a playful and beautifully wrought poem about the body's wonders, yet the book maps not just the body. It expands to cover the difficult territory of marriage, divorce, sexuality, feminism, and new love-all with the same tender honesty of the title poem. In 'Ode to Spiders' she writes, 'Webs etch-a-sketched across the deck, / watch them cast lines, ride the wind.' DeGroat has etch-a-sketched her own lines across traditional themes-and they merit your careful attention.-Sierra Golden, author of Aristotle's LanternThe female body, that 'beautiful machinery,' is Wendy DeGroat's subject. It is the 'lit wick flaring' or the tingle of taut nipples that makes it so 'hard/to get ready for work.' In language luscious and liquid, these poems invite the reader to join her in wonder and praise.-Kim Roberts, Co-Editor, Beltway Poetry Quarterly.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Have you ever wondered why some women cover their heads in church, while men remove their hats Have you thought about what this practice means and where it came from It's not something that was picked up from the surrounding culture. Instead, it comes directly from 1 Corinthians 11 (in the Bible) where this practice is explained in surprising depth. In fifteen consecutive verses, the Apostle Paul explains and defends the practice of head covering. He appeals to apostolic tradition, to the created roles of men and women, to angels, to nature, and to the church's exclusive position on this topic.…
