  • af Michael P McManus
    198,95 kr.

    You will find the work within real, one perfect image/moment, image/moment until even the most dry-eyed among us will find themselves reading through pools of tears, and yet, not wanting to stop, hungry too, for the raw and real life that lives within these pages. Stellasue Lee, Ph. D., Author, Editor, Teacher The Buddha Knot begins in a climate of war and ends at peace, but not without taking us through a battleground of love, death, and "the slow erosion of all we cannot keep." McManus's amazing collection imparts soft wounds with its haunting language plucked from the eye of the storm. Be prepared to breathe in these words and to see more clearly. Lenore Weiss, author of The Golem Reading The Buddha Knot, I'm reminded again of where poetry should lead us: To Wisdom, that most painful of virtues. In stunning poems that read like an Apologia Pro Vita Sua, McManus looks back with a tender, elegiac eye at a life paved with loss and discovery, the lingering trauma of Vietnam, the death of a brother in childhood, and those enlightening moments of aloneness earned beneath the starred skies of Appalachia and the Louisiana Delta. You'll read these courageous poems and reflect, and then read them again. Jack Heflin Author of The Map of Leaving: Poems, and Local Hope

    Body Politic adds to the conversation of a generation with poetry that invokes thoughtful reflection. Whether you read for the love of poetry, to cheer and contemplate your beliefs, or simply to get a better understanding of other viewpoints, Body Politic delivers stunning poetry and deeply interesting reflections on relevant topics today. This is a must read! Praise for Rich Murphy! Rarely do I like explicitly political poetry, yet Richard Murphy may have convinced me otherwise. Murphy shows in Body Politic how poems can be polemical without being didactic, philosophical without throwing out any of a poems linguistic or moral core. Murphy manages to be both heartfelt and playful, ironic and sincere, language-drivenand wild with the material world. Truly worth savoring a few times both as individual poems and as an entire collection. - C. Derick Varn, editor of Former People The poems found in Body Politic are the essential poems of today, a persistent and passionate fugue, an irony, something we need, an elixir for the malaise of paralysis that has engulfed an increasingly terrified humanity. We only have to consider the facts. We need to read these poems. - Michael Rothenberg Rich Murphy's Body Politic delivers a litany of lyrical and surreal protests against the "conspicuous unsaid [that] rules the state for the mind" of a nation addicted to perpetual war and processed news. Murphy's songs of struggle are strong medicine for "the subject and the drunken, resilient question mark behind the eyes." Body Politic is a diagnosis and antidote for the cancer of our times. "No one with a breath escapes." These are poems of resistance and revival. - W. Scott Howard, University of Denver
