Sky Burial
Author: Dana Levin

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Readers will find that this work carries the pulse of their darkest sorrows, in the breath of their humanity. Highly recommended."--Library Journal "Intimate and hypnotic."--Ploughshares "Levin has the skilled ear, magnificent tongue, and fierce mind of the truly prophetic."--Rain Taxi "Levin's work is phenomenological; it details how it feels to be an embodied consciousness making its way through the world."--Boston Review "Death is the new and unshakeable lens through which I see," writes Dana Levin about her third book, in which she confronts mortality and loss in subjects ranging from Tibetan Buddhist burial practices to Aztec human sacrifice. Shaped by dreams and "the worms and the gods," these poems are a profound investigation of our inescapable fate. As Louise Glück has said: "Levin's animating fury goes back deeper into our linguistic and philosophic history: to Blake's tiger, to the iron judgmentsof the Old Testament." They took you in an ambulance even though you were dead, they took you and my sister said Why are you saving her if she is dead? shey shey-- Curve of sky a crescent blade. Vultures wheeling on thermal parapets, shunyata, void that flays-- Yak butter, barley flour and tea: you watch him make the paste. Dana Levin's debut volumeIn the Surgical Theatre won the prestigious APR/Honickman First Book Prize. She teaches creative writing at the University of New Mexico and in the Warren Wilson College MFA Program. She lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Things that Fall from the Sky
Author: Kevin Brockmeier
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307429725
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Weaving together loss and anxiety with fantastic elements and literary sleight-of-hand, Kevin Brockmeier’s richly imagined Things That Fall from the Sky views the nagging realities of the world through a hopeful lens. In the deftly told “These Hands,” a man named Lewis recounts his time babysitting a young girl and his inconsolable sense of loss after she is wrenched away. In “Apples,” a boy comes to terms with the complex world of adults, his first pangs of love, and the bizarre death of his Bible coach. “The Jesus Stories” examines a people trying to accelerate the Second Coming by telling the story of Christ in every possible way. And in the O. Henry Award winning “The Ceiling,” a man’s marriage begins to disintegrate after the sky starts slowly descending. Achingly beautiful and deceptively simple, Things That Fall from the Sky defies gravity as one of the most original story collections seen in recent years.
