Bøger af Heather Woods

Nick was born a malak, a being with all five of the hunters' affiliations. For this reason, her family of hunters uses her as a weapon against the creatures of the night. Connor, a half-werewolf, has come from the neighboring Silverwolf clan to train in order to exact revenge against the vampire who killed his parents. He is pared with Nick, the only Lovac clan hunter without a partner. Trouble finds the duo when the demon who killed Nick's brother comes back for her. Will the couple survive the adventure, or will they be swept away in a river of fire?

A product of poetic bundling is meaning, and making your own meaning... For the fortunate ones, bundling can make a diagram of influence, a love line between writers that is more than a glossary of poetic affinities. Pound launched the ship of Modernism on gushes about customs of love and a trickle of redactions from Remy de Gourmont and Cavalcanti.

Heather Woods is a lightning rod; her poems abundant with the evanescent, sensual pleasures of God and spirit in this remarkable, transformative first collection. 'May all beings be full of light and the roots of light,' she writes, a modern mystic who acts as both a receiver and transmitter of radiance. This is a holy book of the highest order.D. A. PowellSomebody shook, then popped the lid on, the Great Hymnal: out flew these devotional lyrics wholly recast - ravenously tender, carnally transcendent, and fearlessly pitched towards ecstasy. Heather Woods reawakens a tradition that Dickinson, George Herbert, H. D. inhabited, whereby the poet constructs a void of self as an act of seduction, a surrender to language that is also a command of sonority and syntax. Light bearing calls down the powers holily and hotly; it filled "me up such// that my seams would burst."Aaron ShurinHeather Woods' extraordinary debut poetry collection, Light Bearing, is a spell binding, light-charged tour de force. Shot through with ardor, compassion, love and wit, Woods invites us to "commit luminous chaos together and render havoc holy." These poems swoon, dive, dip, swirl, twirl, and ascend to help us transcend our pedestrian daily cares. Word play offers us new angles into the spiritual and the corporeal. Lines like, "This little light of mine,/ I'm gonna fret and pine," turn time worn lyrics on their heads and wake us from any dolor to light our way. You'll have no need for extra candles or a flashlight if the power goes out on a windy night. This shining, glowing book of poems will light the darkest room and your world will be suddenly, brilliantly lit.Toni MirosevichLight Bearing is a work that is at once precise, conflicted, unflinching in its gaze. In these pages, I am reminded that the real work of poetry is hidden in the underbelly of its lines, and the complexity of emotions. That is to say these poems are beautiful, dangerous, and devastating to read.Truong Tran
