Inhoudsopgave:
Written\u0026lt;i\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/i\u0026gt;during the last five years of the poet\u0026#8217;s father\u0026#8217;s life, \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Creature \u0026lt;/i\u0026gt;is a book about love, destruction, and the self, all standing in relation to family and the natural world. The poems themselves try to move toward what can\u0026#8217;t be said by finding connection with other life forms: hawks, hummingbirds, pelicans, lizards, horses, ravens, squid. By moving past linguistic walls into otherness, words become proximate to mystery and inhabit territory where expanses open and embodiment is always on the verge of transformation. |
