Paperback. Condizione: Good. From acclaimed author David Budbill, Broken Wing is a posthumous novel celebrating solitude, nature, and the human spirit. Set in the deep woods of Vermont, this lyrical literary fiction follows a man who lives alone in the mountains and his unexpected journey to friendship with an injured black bird. The man who lives alone in the mountains exists in solitude and simplicity. His days are spent tending his garden and observing wildlife. His nights are spent immersed in music, poetry, letter writing, and, most importantly, bird watching. As November arrives and he prepares for winter, he discovers an injured black bird, which he names Broken Wing. Drawn to its spirit of survival and freedom, he forms a profound connection that sparks inspiration and friendship. Both lyrical and reflective, Broken Wing offers a gentle mirror to the peaks and valleys of human existence and the rhythm of life. Against the backdrop of changing seasons, this nature-inspired fiction novel invites readers into a world of quiet observation, heartfelt insight, and poetic storytelling.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. "David Budbill is a no-nonsense free-range sage who celebrates tomatoes in September, the whistle of a woodcock and sweet black tea and ancient Chinese poems." --New York Times "Budbill both informs and moves. He is, in short, a delight and a comfort."--Wendell Berry "[Budbill] can be hilarious, as when he gripes, 'What good is my humility / when I am / stuck / in this obscurity?'"--Booklist, starred review "His terse, epigrammatic lyrics are a lilting mirror of classical Chinese poetry."--The Wichita Eagle David Budbill continues his popular poetic ruminations on life in remote New England--an outward survey of a forested mountain and an introspection of self-reliance, anonymity, and the creative life. Inspired by classical Chinese and Japanese poets, Budbill contemplates the seasons, ambition, his questionable desire for fame and fortune, and simple, focused contentment: "Weed the beans. Pick the peas." "Out in the Woods" The only time I'm really free is when I'm out in the woods cutting firewood, stacking brush, clearing trails. Just the chain saw, the dog and me. Heave and groan, sweat and ache. Work until I can't stand it anymore. Take a break. Sit on the needle-strewn ground up against a big pine tree, drink some water, stare out through the woods, pet the dog. Stretch out on the ground, take a nap, dog's head on my lap. Ah, this would be the time and place and way to die. David Budbill is the author of poems, plays, essays, speeches, and book reviews. He has also served as a commentator on NPR's All Things Considered. He lives in the mountains of northern Vermont where he tends his garden and website.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A tale of the tribe (Ezra Pound's phrase for his own longer work), Park Songs is set in a down-and-out Midwestern park where people from all walks of life gather. In this small green space surrounded by a great gray city, the park provides a refuge for its caretaker (and resident poet), street preachers, retirees, moms, hustlers, and teenagers. Interspersed with blues songs, the community speaks through poetic monologues and conversations, while the homeless provide the introductory chorus-their collective voices becoming an epic tale of comedy and tragedy.Full of hard-won wisdom, unexpected humor, righteous (if occasionally misplaced) anger, and sly tenderness, their stories show us how people learn to live with mistakes and make connections in an antisocial world. As the poem/play engages us in their pain and joy-and the goofy delight of being human-it makes a quietly soulful statement about desire, acceptance, and community in our lives.…
