Winging It - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

In her soaring second collection, poet Rivka Epstein Hattin carries us away on flights of wonder and fascination. These poems are wide-eyed and undaunted in their exploration of the deepest hungers and desires, from the creative to the spiritual to the sensual. Flickering within each poem is the same lively, energetic voice—a wild aliveness like wingbeats, a beating heart perched in the branches of a fig tree. Here, she becomes “winged / light / a bird in motion / that can land, indeed / but chooses air.” It’s this spirit of improvisation and faith entwined that gives these headstrong poems their undeniable brightness. They are confident, lyrical, and luminous. In Winging It, Rivka Epstein Hattin shows us that, although “hope is a dangling vine,” sometimes it also has feathers.
