Magna Texannia: A Collection of Poems - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

'wrought from language', from the introduction

'Wrought' is the word to describe this first collection of poems by Matt Minor. By turns at once rational then mystical, sentimental yet dispassionate, these poems though woven with abstractions, seem less caught from the ether, than pulled straight out of the unforgiving ground and hammered into shape.

Spanning some three decades, this collection represents a small but significant representation of the poetic themes Minor has cultivated his entire adult life. Absorbed in the decayed light of today, they could appear somewhat of a premonition to the present.

These poems are less the last testimony of a man surviving in a culture on the brink of implosion, than a lesson to some future generation, as the author states in the official dedication, 'who have acquired, after untold sufferings, some notion on how to savor and celebrate life.'
