Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Chosen by Randall Mann as a winner of the Jake Adam York Prize, Brian Tierney¿s Rise and Float depicts the journey of a poet working¿remarkably, miraculously¿to make our most profound, private wounds visible on the page.With the ¿corpse of Frost¿ under his heel, Tierney reckons with a life that resists poetic rendition. The transgenerational impact of mental illness, a struggle with disordered eating, a father¿s death from cancer, the loss of loved ones to addiction and suicide¿all of these compound to ¿month after / month¿ and ¿dream / after dream¿ of struck-through lines.
