Bøger af Deborah Keenan

These are poems of deep sentiment, and certain collisions of memory and imagination; poems that respect melancholy; and poems that deepen our understanding of betrayal and tenderness, love, loss and even violence. This book is about decades of thinking, feeling, considering what living might really mean and what a person does or doesn't do to protect one's spirit, one's soul.

In her highly anticipated new collection, Deborah Keenan sifts through inanimate objects and forgotten memories in search of personal validation. Her journal-like confessions create an instant bond with the reader, yet these seemingly simple poems daringly redefine common language. Keenan skillfully twists words to suit her ends, creating a colorful, dream-like world filled with lions, paintings, wars, and mummies. Throughout, she constantly reorganizes this world in an effort to realize her place in it.
