Broken and Blended: Love's Alchemy
商品資訊
商品簡介
-Nancy Owen Nelson, Author of My Heart Wears No Colors and Portals: A Memoir in Verse
It is easy to praise these poems for their skillful construction, their precise imagery, the way form finds its right way to shape the telling of these stories-but what I respond most directly to is the rich humanity of Moore's vision. Marriages, children, grandchildren, and the process of living a life and aging into some kind of wisdom (or at the very least self-knowledge) make up the subject matter of Broken and Blended, and at the heart of Moore's explorations is what it means to be a man in relationship with others. The imperfect, important work of love shines through, and it gives all of us-however broken or blended or mended-hope.
-Jennifer Horne, Alabama Poet Laureate, Author of Bottle Tree, Little Wanderer, and Borrowed Light
Broken and Blended offers a fresh, contemporary version of an old, familiar story, with its seasons of loss and gain, joy and sorrow, errancy and renewal. In richly allusive, clear, and conversational language, Harry Moore tells this story of love's transformations with humor, affection and wry self-awareness, from the point of view of a husband, father, step-father, and grandfather who feels deeply and sometimes "'think[s] too much.'" Beautifully and subtly well-crafted, the poems' rhythmic cadences, wordplay, apt metaphors and at times surprising twists draw the reader into this engaging narrator's world and state of mind. Do we control the narrative, or does the story-our biology, gender, raising, circumstance-control us? Broken and Blended implicitly asks these questions, even as it affirms that "We must be able to say what / happened," that "This is how we know."
-Susan Luther, Author of Breathing in the Dark, Greatest Hits, and other chapbooks
