Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This abundant volume of aphorisms, elegies, and pure celebration of nature, spirit, and incisive attention to the world outside and inside himself, gives Dillard the chance to really enthrall. Poems such as these are to be read over and over. Jocular, honest, and completely in the art of its craft, these poems provide the reader a chance to witness and engage with his life - a rich amalgam of love, the ribald joy in desire, and the acceptance of his life as it has been lived, and as it grows even more. There are few poets who come close to what Gavin Geoffrey Dillard has done here, in this unique and beautiful collection. Rumination - close to the work of Rumi and the spiritual poets - is its elementary ground, and the results of the observed life are to be taken not only as a guide to his deep perception, but also his innate ability for grace and gratitude. A stunning collection. Philip F. Clark (THE CARNIVAL OF AFFECTION)Dillard's poetry is best read at night, ideally with a rain shower drumming against the roof.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Comfort of Stone-field notes on a course in life' is the sixteenth book from Gavin Geoffrey Dillard - poet, playwright, songwriter, librettist, and comedy writer to the stars. Though the book is in poetic form, including free verse, koans, haiku, and traditional waka form, 'The Comfort of Stone' also is a journal of three years on the poet's small tea farm in Southern Appalachia, capturing the seasons and their foibles, the dramas of the woods and field and their critters, and life with seven obstreperous kitties. Once a gay icon and noted romantic poet, Dillard now turns to paganism, naturism, and Taoism for emotional content, spiritual edification, and poetic flavor. Having been described as a cross between Rumi and Gary Larson, Gavin sets his noetic wits on the tribulations, myths and magic of forest and farm life. From the author of 'In the Flesh-Undressing for Success,' and the award-winning opera, 'When Adonis Calls,' come more tales of flesh and spirit in rural America.…
