Bøger af Alan Michael Parker

Alan Michael Parker's latest collection, The Age of Discovery, is a work of enduring beauty, filled with his signature tenderness and surprise. Parker's interests range from the Psalms to the Internet, from a woman stepping out her window to die to two men trying to learn how to live as they argue in a row-boat. With an eye on some of the greatest love poets (Amichai, Mistral, Neruda), Parker delivers a collection deep in empathy, rigorously attentive, and formally inventive.

This is a journey through six centuries of poets writing in the voice of the opposite sex. Poems both canonical and less traditional, from early modern England to present-day Africa, are represented.
