Inhaltsangabe

The poems in Reunion insistently turn back toward sources: toward home and the idea of home, toward the body, and toward objects that return us to ourselves. They always surprise, moving from quantum mechanics, wildflowers, and a Bobcat driver to a woman killed by a flying deer, magma becoming rock, and an invasion of flying ants. Fleda Brown deftly unites daily frustrations and suffering with profound psychological, physical, and cosmic questions.

“Herons are bigger than egrets, though they have the same long legs.

My father said one with an eight-foot wingspan flew over his boat.

I would like to be shadowed by something that big. It would seem

 

like poetry, just out of reach, moving and making a bare flush

of wings, and I would think of it long after, the way it was heading

away from me. My longing would not be satisfied even if I could

 

grab its scrawny legs in my hand, even if it nuzzled up to me.”

—excerpt from No Heron
