Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Fetch, Muse, Rebecca Starks second full-length collection of poetry, is a powerful account of events revolving around adopting, living with, and ultimately giving up a dog. In precisely crafted and moving poems of compassionate care, of sacrifice and inclusion, the accounts are by turns heartwarming and heartrending-how the dog Kismet was integrated into and became an important and beloved member of the family, and, ultimately lost, 'memory burning [her] into brilliance.' Along the way, understanding deepens of the dog as an individual, of our wilder inclinations, guiding toward a more informed attitude, to warmth given and received. This is a unique collection of longing and introspection, uncovering a closer sense of the life around us, our inner nature, our humanity.PRAISE FOR FETCH, MUSEThis book shows that the range of feelings that goes into taking on and then giving up a dog is as deep and wide an emotional swath as any we experience as people, which is to say non-dogs. The insights, confusions, misgivings, wary moments, and entangled joys are all here along with a steady self-scrutiny. We forget, we let go, but we don't forget the deep tie between dogs and humans and how crucial yet fraught that tie is. Fetch, Muse offers poetry of a very high order to apprehend matters that are basic to our flawed, yearning humanity. Baron Wormser, Maine Poet Laureate Emeritus, author of Tom o' VietnamWhat brims from this elegant collection A sorrow both compassionate and contemplative, a sorrow wise and deep. Here, Rebecca Starks gives us poems spoken in direct address to her rescued dog named Kismet. 'Fetch, Muse,' she says, commanding the dog to '. . . do the work / of memory, dropping life at my feet . . .' And Kismet obeys. In mostly subverted, non-traditional sonnets, Starks's poems retrieve from memory the story of a rescue that is fated to ultimately fail. Rich with allusion, her work-with its wit and insight and music-salvages for us the story of her relationship with a creature whose very name means fate. Paulann Petersen, Oregon Poet Laureate Emerita, author of UnderstoryFetch, Muse is a book of real poems with a real subject, a subject which is difficult to tackle successfully, and Rebecca Starks achieves that success. The poems, mostly unrhymned sonnets, muse on her wayward dog and on her family life. The dog is her true muse. There are many great lines I could quote, but here is the beginning line of a typical sonnet 'Fetch, Muse, bring me back what I rejected,' and ends with this memorable final line, 'your fetch as long as your leash pulls you up.' Powerful.
