Inhaltsangabe

This collection of poetry is a complex, diverse, and masterful work. The poems collected in this book offer a many-layered look at a reality in which perception shifts and parallax supercedes. Sutherland reaps the colors of our waking lives, sundering each vision as if picking apart the seams that bond each atom to the next, and stores these harvested dreams like grain, to wait for a time when we hunger after them, to wait for a "pause in the low rituals of life, where craving is not pagan nor sorrow cryptic."

She lacks the dominant axis and
steam to come around,
born to this fertile soil whose
mating lips breed personal scarcity and
supple breasts worship the graves
of our deceased.

It takes ... steam to come around
motivations long gracious folds
arms like god,
an emblem to raise devotion for
the mourning masses,
whose toys are plastic.
Life's vain attachments to a
jawbone, a splint, an ailing member,

whose toys are glass.
It takes ... steam to come around!
endless energy,
heart-rending emotion,
and surrender to a God,
whose toys are flesh.

Green, from Between Absolutes
by David Hunter Sutherland
