Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - First poetry collection in a decade from acclaimed author of The Crying BookSince Heather Christle published her last poetry collection a decade ago, her nonfiction works The Crying Book and In the Rhododendrons have found her readers around the world. Paper Crown marks Christle's exuberant return to her home genre, in which she combines the imagination of her earliest poetry with the personal elements of her more recent prose. These poems conjure moments when the world's events (a child's words, early twentieth-century predictions of drone warfare, dinner with friends) align themselves with the odd logic of dreams and serendipity. With tenderness and verve, honesty and curiosity, Paper Crown invites readers to look up from its pages and recognize that the day going on around them could very well be its own poem.[sample poem]MistakeFor years I have seendead animals on the highway and grieved for themonly to realize they are not dead animalsthey are t shirts or bits of blown tireand I have found myself with thisexcess of grief I have made withno object to let it spill over andI have not known where to put it orkeep it and then today I thought I knowI can give it to you.…
