Bøger af Cl Bledsoe

In his 14th poetry collection, Bledsoe explores the emotional impact of the pandemic using a sardonic sense of humor contrasted with sincere observations, creating an intense emotional experience. His poems range from personal anecdotes about his childhood and adult life, to surreal portraits that explore significant themes of alienation and love. Similar in scope to The Bottle Episode, B Sides and Rarities is a moving commentary on the state of America today.

CL Bledsoe's collection shows us a boy's perspective on a dying farm, his dying mother, and by extraction, a dying way of life. Bledsoe paints an unsparing picture of a bleak time, but manages to leave the reader with an inexplicable hope. He tells a tale in poetry about a seismic shift in the American landscape, replete with the damage done to those on the fault lines.
