�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Erica Funkhouser's fifth collection considers what it means to be earthly. These are poems in which a one-eyed hawk observes us from ?the wide realm of his rapt patience� and a group of long-buried foundation stones works its way back to the earth's surface like ?ceremonial animals, their throats unslit.� The central poem in the collection, ?Pome,� cuts into the mythos of Johnny Appleseed, the biology of apples, and the poet's own experience of growing up on a farm. The final section of the book contains sonnets written as an homage to the Holy Sonnets of John Donne -- witty, graceful poems that limn the coming into consciousness of a young poet. A departure from Funkhouser's previous historical narratives and her compressed lyrics, the expansive poems in Earthly are sure to deliver this poet her greatest recognition yet.
