Paperback. Condizione: Good. .in these poems, (there is) a family of 12 with the mother, father, and speaker as the prime characters.In a brilliant crown of sonnets, its most important character, the speaker's brother, who died a suicide, by drowning, fully emerges. The strictness of the form is never obtrusive--it just does its job.to give a frame, a tension, something for the powerful emotion to work off of or against, thus increasing its powerful sentiment.By writing this book.Teresa Carson has rescued her family and her brother. That a book of poems can do this is a miracle. --Thomas Lux These poems.convey with beauty and power the emotions that pour from loss, love, trauma, reconciliation and healing. It is difficult in an academic article or a clinical process to capture the full measure of what it is we seek to heal. But in these powerful poems.one can connect to a fragment of the pain, and hope, of Teresa Carson. Her words can teach. Teresa Carson is wise. She shares her wisdom in this remarkable book. --Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D. Senior Fellow, The Child Trauma Academy.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Thomas Lux is the author of such books as Sunday, Half Promised Land, and The Drowned River. His poetry has been fulfilling every expectation by penetrating deeper into the plain-spoken, saturnine, witty language that he virtually invented. In his latest work, Lux's level gaze, cool talk, weird rhythms, and quirky humor place him in a special territory - entirely original - of contemporary American poetry. These new poems, like Split Horizon itself, have unusual titles (Loudmouth Soup, Virgule, Each Startled Touch Returns the Touch Unstartled) and circle around their subjects in strange ways, most often dealing with the lonely oddity of the individual in a society that inflexibly ignores individuality.…

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. One of the New York Public Library's 25 "Books to Remember" in 1997 Lux comments on the absurd, the pathetic, and the commonplace in our culture, writing with compassion as well as satire. He is "singular among his peers in his ability to convey with a deceptive lightness the paradoxes of human emotion," says Publishers Weekly, and Robert Hass, in the Washington Post Book World, takes special note of Lux's "bitter wit, the kind of irony that comes with a quick, impatient intelligence." What makes his poetry unforgettable? Narrative Poetry: Lux's poems often tell unforgettable stories, finding entire worlds in everyday objects, historical footnotes, and the surreal landscapes of American life. Dark Humor and Satire: With a "bitter wit" noted by critics, Lux tackles subjects from commercial leech farming to Dr. Goebbels with an unflinching and often hilarious eye. Deep Compassion: Beyond the irony, this collection is grounded in a profound empathy for the human condition, with moving elegies and tender poems written for his daughter. Observational Wit: Discover a voice that finds the "paradoxes of human emotion" in the most unexpected places, all conveyed with what Publishers Weekly called a "deceptive lightness.".…
