Bøger af Geffrey Davis

"When tensions veer between hope and despair, the ensuing fracture can swing like a scythe and cut a ragged seam between past and present. In One Wild Word Away, Geffrey Davis weaves a deft set of poems about illness, family, loss, and rebirth. The luxurious sonics and crisp descriptions in each line are haunted by grief and buoyed by love as the speaker confronts generational trauma and the loss of a loved one while in the process of raising his own son"--

A book-length love letter of poems by a young black man seeking a new model of care for his family.

Dorianne Laux calls this Poulin Prize-winning debut collection "one of the best first books I've read in a while... spell-binding."
