Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Greek American poet's spirited search for the origins of her name becomes a gateway to self-discovery. Everyone has a name that comes from somewhere. Greek American poet Catherine Strisik's brilliant fourth collection, Goat, Goddess, Moon, is a deeply personal search to uncover the roots of her given name. In poems that originate in Crete and Thessaloniki, Greece, and in northern New Mexico's San Cristobal and Taos, Strisik, like an archeologist, revisits and reimagines the ancestral Greek villages that are her imprint of origin and reveal the love that endures. Herein are poems that include the Greek language, the speaker's early tongue and that of her ancestors: Maybe agape is what we mean/ agape on the edge of Fortetsa to bend/Yes bend closer/mythed/unmythed. These bold, body-centered poems explore villages, labyrinths, and the given name Aikater?na found in myth, love, desire, superstition, beauty, the physicality of woman/goddess, elemental bodies of landscape/waters, and a mystical camaraderie with abandoned wild dogs, cats, and sacrificial goats. This is a journey of self-discovery, one that fully embraces family origins and a celebratory arrival: Wake up Wake up and still spring, and the goats they bleat Hariklea, Andreas, Sultana, Ourania, Nausicaa and from my basil bowl too the bones resembling say it Kater?na Yes. and yes.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The keen eye of compassion in each detail, the steady touch of its cadence in each unfolding line. Olga Broumas Author of Rave: Poems Here is a perfect, clean and delicate (powerful and often terrifying) work of art. In its simplicity lies profound emotion, both beautiful and laden with sadness. These masterful slim poems speak with discipline and exquisite fervor. Catherine Strisik is a new voice already in full bloom. This is a very moving portrait of a land, its people, and the universal human spirit. John Nichols Author of The Milagro Beanfield War Catherine Strisik's poetry engages me on every level. The poems, clear and articulate, exhibit an ability to instinctively peer through the many layers of Cambodian culture to its essence. As a Cambodian myself, I am moved by Strisik's empathy and understanding, and feel that I am with her as she observes Cambodia and Cambodians. At the same time I have a sense that I am looking back at her journey through the window of reality, recognizing her as compatriot and companion in our journey together. Her intimacy in many of the poems is genuine and earned, balanced by wide, sweeping poems that give a sense of the vast continuum that is Cambodia. U Sam Oeur Author of Sacred Vows and Crossing Three Wildernesses Cathy Strisik's Thousand-Cricket Song is a work of insight, deep feeling, and vibrancy, rendering Cambodia's 'mottled beauty' with compassion, outrage, lush sensory detail-the whirring of the cicadas in the Mekong night, the grace of the apsara and her timeless dance, 'the torsos hooked / to braided ropes'.
