A Wreath of Down and Drops of Blood
Author: Allen Braden
Publisher: VQR Poetry
ISBN: 9780820334745
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Raised on a family farm in the Pacific Northwest, Allen Braden has deep connections to rural life. Even at its most lyrical, his language evokes the local dialect of the West, his West. These poems, balancing elegy and affirmation, measure human and animal relationships with "brute geometry" in order to calculate the damage we require of ourselves. Returning to variations of a sonnet titled "Taboo against the Word Beauty," Braden relentlessly pursues the possibility of naming the beautiful without ignoring what has so often and so widely been destroyed by human hands.

Can Poetry Save the Earth?
Author: John Felstiner
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300155530
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 435
Book Description
In forty brief and lucid chapters, Felstiner presents those voices that have most strongly spoken to and for the natural world. Poets- from the Romantics through Whitman and Dickinson to Elizabeth Bishop and Gary Snyder- have helped us envision such details as ocean winds eroding and rebuilding dunes in the same breath, wild deer freezing in our presence, and a person carving initials on a still-living stranded whale.
