Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Lisa Brognano's poetry is the vocal expression of those most beautiful things. Seemingly simple and familiar experiences and observations from everyday life come unannounced from Lisa's own memories and take a reader by the throat. As serious poems do. And although the experiences are completely hers, we are struck by some universal truths that she so inconspicuously reveals to us with such easiness and simplicity.-- Stevan V. Nikolic, Editor, Adelaide Literary Magazine.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The collected poems in Royal Blue Shutters explore the pull and tug of language, the tin-like sounds, the careful alignment, and robust admiration of words. Stanzas are bulked up with their own musicality-songs that can't be sung but only released from the lips in a prattle.Their subject matter turns the ordinary on its head, bringing questions to the fore about what it means to take one's place on the world's unglamorous stage. Insights of rare beauty are shared as chitchat, and whether petite in nature or longer, these poems are vignettes about life's inexplicable yet dutiful rhythm.…

Zustand: Gut. Zustand: Gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | "Brognano populates the cosmos of these poems with a smattering of hard-luck characters, lovers attempting (sometimes successfully) to grasp fleeting moments of carnal gratification and transcendent connection, seekers with hints of transport in their eyes, and flora and fauna anthropomorphized intensely enough to suggest a panpsychist metaphysics. With an almost Dickensian gift for savagely ironic nomenclature and suggestions of a mischievous cosmic will that takes a little too much perverse delight in teaching humbling lessons, Brognano's poems offer us a lens through which the world feels richer, wilder, more unique, and wittier than it does to the naked eye"--.…

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | "You will find that Lisa Brognano's voice is intimate and clear, and her words are kind. She chooses subject matter with care. Each poem is gentle but insistent, inviting us into the narrative, to be part of small, important stories. Brognano's primary goal is to be honest, revelatory, while remaining friendly. Not that she pulls her punches. Even when the topic leans towards the painful, the perilous, Brognano is fully aware of the risk. Her deft touch keeps things real and she never stops wielding her heart as the chief tool with which she crafts." - Garrison Somers, Editor-in-Chief, The Blotter Magazine "Lisa Brognano's poems in The Copper Weathervane are doorways to life's small wonders. Old men roast under the sun. Swimmers race through the water. A woman gazes at the night sky. These poems are clear-eyed and entertaining vignettes that help us better grasp our relationships with nature and humanity." - Benjamin Woodard, Atlas and Alice Literary MagazineLisa Brognano's poems separate the feminine from masculine, explore what we lose when we exchange the music of songbirds and crickets for modern life, and asks us to remember the wolves on the perimeters. Amongst these themes, we are introduced to a cast of characters-captain, farmer, Korean War vet, violinist, to a pair of childhood friends. Romance also abounds in this poetry collection from a suitor who questions his leap to commit, to the rekindling of long-lasting love, to the exchange of lust that unknowingly takes us to different places. Can we harness time? Believe there is an art to war? Watch the sky for direction? Brognano presses us to answer. "Violin Girl" instructs to play for others while we continue to consult with the wiser, older woman in "Returning a Dollar." Like the Potawatomi who honored the Four Directions, the East for illumination, the South for vigor, the West for contemplation, and the North for survival, Brognano perfectly titles her second collection. - Christine Redman-Waldeyer, author of Frame by Frame.…
