123,95 kr. Amor vincit omnia: So the proverb goes. In Nin's Poem Shelby Stephenson dramatizes the truth that love conquers all in a compelling cascade of monologues, dialogues, and appeals to the powers of nature. The trials of illness-"I am oppressed by the weight of affliction rooted in the air"-can strengthen the hope for hope. "Someday, / our world shall fall into place." The lyrical pages demonstrate the triumph of tenacity. -Fred Chappell, winner of the Bollingen Prize in Poetry

183,95 kr. Our World, by North Carolina Poet Laureate Shelby Stephenson, is a love letter to his wife, Nin, and to the homestead where he was born and on which he still lives. Poet Dannye Romine Powell, says, "Shelby Stephenson drags the river of love and memory in this new collection, from sassy-sweet songs to his beloved wife Nin, to the "deep and wide gladness" of being alive, to thoughts of his father's Stetson hats and White Owl cigars, of his mother humming as she cuts cloth for a dress. . . . If poetry gets more visceral than this, quick, show me where."
