Things as It Is
Author: Chase Twichell
Publisher: Copper Canyon Press
ISBN: 1619321947
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
"Poems of balanced wildness and instinctual grace."—New York Journal of Books “[Twichell’s poems] open out into a stark, sometimes bewildered clarity.” —The Washington Post “Suppose you had Sappho’s passion, the intelligence and perspicacity of Curie, and Dickinson’s sweet wit . . . then you would have the poems of Chase Twichell.” —Hayden Carruth “A major voice in contemporary poetry.” —Publishers Weekly Chase Twichell’s eighth collection lifts up the joy of the moment while mourning a changing world. In Things as It Is—purposefully not things as they are—the present and past parallel and intermingle. Meditating on a litany of formative moments, Twichell’s clear-as-a-bell voice delivers visceral and emotionally resonant lyrics, elegies, and confessions. From “What the Trees Said”: The trees have begun to undress. Soon snow will come to bandage the whole wounded world. When I was young I eloped with the sky. I wore blue-black, with under-lit ribbons of pink . . . Chase Twichell, a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, Twichell has published seven previous poetry collections, including Horses Where Answers Should Have Been, which received the 2011 Kingsley Tufts Award. For ten years, she owned and operated Ausable Press.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • "Part horror tale, part mystery, part romance ... utterly fantastic.”—O, The Oprah Magazine • The bestselling, award-winning author of A Visit from the Goon Squad brilliantly conjures a world from which escape is impossible and where the keep—the tower, the last stand—is both everything worth protecting and the very thing that must be surrendered in order to survive. Two cousins, irreversibly damaged by a childhood prank, reunite twenty years later to renovate a medieval castle in Eastern Europe. In an environment of extreme paranoia, cut off from the outside world, the men reenact the signal event of their youth, with even more catastrophic results. And as the full horror of their predicament unfolds, a prisoner, in jail for an unnamed crime, recounts an unforgettable story that seamlessly brings the crimes of the past and present into piercing relation.

Just a Moment

Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
I wrote this book for me at first. I was given such wonderful feedback from my Five Word Poetry Book and Short Stories, I decided to do it again. The content of this book is an accumulation of 10 years of poetry, story, and thought. My absolute delight is within inspiration and the gift given by those I offer it to. I am delighted to have my gift placed on a fridge, humbled when you shed a tear, and amused when my gift causes a smile. The energy reflected in emotion is my gift’s purpose. I am eternally grateful and inspired by the ease and synergy of life. My writing has changed as I have. A teenager asked me if I had ever written a proper book. I laughed as he fine-tuned his statement, “I mean like, a story.” He inspired me to smile and I shall have that feeling for eternity. To all who encouraged me, offered feedback, shared emotion, and communicated. All the words in the world could not give meaning to the pride I have inside for your time…and to those I am yet to meet poetically I say, “You are in for a treat.”
