Bøger af Temple Cone

Poetry by Maryland poet, Temple Cone. Cone writes poetry with an authentic voice and a feel for nature, the land, and life in its many aspects.

Temple Cone, already known for his smart word choices, writes a new diction in a fierce intense rhapsody of the rural south. With liberated language Cone takes us on a prayerful journey of observation in a meta-world of nature that changes the dialogue about our former impressions. Written with heart and beauty, Cone connects to the page with a new colloquialism. In this highly stylized and intelligent book Cone's down-home words become lyric. As one poem states: "Let prehistory get a look at your face." And let poetry history, too, I add. Grace Cavalieri Maryland Poet Laureate
