Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The poems in Dabney Stuart's Common Ground center on a family, the bonds that unite it and the forces that break it apart. Taking as their subject friendship, air travel, men's room graffiti, conversation, the American West, the circus, and other polite topics, these poems nonetheless return again and again, often hauntingly, to the family, to childhood, to fathers and sons, to divorce.In ""Turnings,"" a father paces the halls of his home, long after his children and wife are asleep:In the years of his growing loss he would walk Through the rooms of the house after midnight, The ice tinkling in a glass of bourbon Accompanying him. Each door he passed Through seemed to yawn him in, the quiet bodies Of his sons unrecognizable in their dark beds. .When he looked down at his wife's body in another room The night itself seemed to yawn, so he went out into it, Stood at the edge of the wide yard he'd tended for ten years, Discovered the next largest darkness of all. You are eating me alive, woman, he said softly, Hearing himself.The poems in this volume are affecting, honest attempts of the poet to find common ground with his reader; to express emotion, yearning, and confusion in a way that is readily accessible and true.
