Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Rebecca Winning gives the reader unique poems filled with seeable images, mystery, personal loves and glimpses of nature. These poems are best read with time to ponder, perhaps when drinking a coffee or tea. They are to be savored like eating a really rich piece of chocolate cake. Every poem leaves me with a smile or a tear, wanting answers, wanting more. A joy to read.? Barb Schwegman, author of Nightwalking and Poems of Central America'Rebecca Winning's poems have a way planting you - in a sisterly relationship, in a blind man's skin, in a Colorado landscape in Spring - that puts you in the center of the seed, makes a garden of the world that surrounds you, and makes that world impossible not to celebrate. This garden, these parties of her poems reach far, wide, and deep in every direction - you never know where they'll take you. And you never want to leave.' ? Bruce Gelfand, writer, teacher, coach and editor of Brighter the Light, Deeper the Shadow Rebecca Winning's Lullaby of Love: Selected Poems, takes you on a journey through her midwestern upbringing, relationships, deep connection with the natural world and meditations on finding meaning. It includes previously published poems from her early years, including poems from two books: A Cure for Backache (1977) and A Marriage Pact and Other Poems (1983), as well as 30 previously unpublished poems. The poems offer deeply personal reflections on love, loss, family, marriage, infidelity, divorce, healing, aging, death and new beginnings. Each poem crystallizes a point-in-time that celebrates the mystery and wonder of our everyday lives. Fans of Mary Oliver and Jane Hirshfield will appreciate her simple language and striking imagery as she explores themes of human frailty and connection, reverence for the natural world, and the intersection of the seen and unseen. Her book is a meditation on finding one's best self and living in harmony with ? and gratitude for ? the interconnectedness we all share.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Stories abound in this book, and a river runs through it. The stories are random and recurring, like memory itself. Family history. A conversation struck up with an old man in a bar. A long ago Pony League team undefeated. A young marine walking in an empty baseball field in Oahu, reading his college acceptance letter. The stories, like the cue balls Pearn describes in another poem, touch each other and change trajectories. The river is the Poudre - born in the Rocky Mountains, eastern slope, flowing through Fort Collins. Pearn gives his readers its colors and its creatures in many lights and seasons. Like memory, it is a place to return to, a source of renewal. There is another force moving these poems, one not found so much in contemporary writing. Call it boundless hope. In his poem 'Three Square Meals,' Pearn says he 'did not have the American dream' because he never wanted to be rich; he just wanted to be a writer. But the American dream is writ large in these poems - true grit and work and the possibility of glory in baseball fields and boot camp - and in poetry. Many of the poems in this book are conversations with poetry and poets that begin in a seventh-grade classroom and are now part of his outlook and his art. The American dream shines in Pearn's memories of Jacksonville, Illinois, in the good days of the 1950s and 60s when there was work in huge and colorful variety for anyone who was willing to do it. But he also tells some 21st centuries stories of hope and struggle. His wife, a recent immigrant from China, confronts the gulf between her education and the jobs available to her. They walk the bureaucratic maze in their efforts to bring her son to the United States. This is a book to read and return to. -Peggy Sower Knoepfle.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - For six decades, John Knoepfle has been writing poems, and he's still going strong. Knoepfle writes love poems, among the best we have, of the joys, loneliness, danger and the infinite transformations of marriage. He writes narrative poems, surreal, sardonic and magical about astronauts on the moon or an angry farmer and a prophetic owl. He recovers the stories of folks who never made it into the history books. Always he has a respect for the spoken word and lays his lines out on the page so that you too can hear it. And a spiritual force runs through his books like the slow and powerful rivers of the Midwest he inhabits. Both moving and humorous, Knoepfle's autobiography shows us how by hard work and lucky accident he came to be the poet he is.…
