In Every Carnation (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Barbara Knott | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This book of poems is presented as the author's "floral arrangement for the table of talk about what matters," in this case, the mystery of the body of god or gods as revealed through incarnation in this more-than-human world. Award-winning poet and fiction writer Barbara Knott says of her work that she is interested "in the world and its diversity of creatures and in what makes us human and in whatever lies in the depths of human experience, where oppositions lay down their arms, where the erotic meets the sacred, and where serious sits down with humor to sort it all out." IN EVERY CARNATION: The Body of God reflects these interests in some poems that "emerge, like flowers, in tight compressed forms that unfold as they are warmed by the reader's gaze" and in other poems that "creep and twine, trail and dangle, like long and shaggy thoughts," all designed for conversational adventure.
