Book excerpt: "Chungmi Kim explores the themes of longing and displacement in a culture she sees as both askew--like seeing 'the mountain upside down'--and engaging, as in her title poem, 'Glacier Lily, ' where identity is born not of the purity of nostalgia but of the coloring of age, vibrant and transforming, as are all of the poems in this collection." --James Ragan "Chungmi Kim's passion, empathy, and lyric voice bring us diverse communities: from Hollywood to South Central L.A.; from Korea to America. We see what she sees: 'the mountain upside down, ' but the very next moment we are lifted skyward by her words. Chungmi Kim's poems find us again and again, but never in the same way." --Russell C. Leong
Download or read book Lily is Leaving written by Leslie A. Fried and published by Cirque Press. This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cirque Press proudly announces this collection of verse, Lily is Leaving by Leslie A. Fried. In Lily is Leaving: Poems by Leslie A. Fried, the reader travels by train across Texas flatlands with the poet as she grieves for her lost lover, inhales the "spicy scent of leaves smoldering" as she recalls her beloved mother, walks in late summer along Oregon cow paths to search for the "dangerous opulence" of blackberries, considers the intelligence of crows, makes a feeble attempt to explain the fragility of life to her granddaughter, and mourns the loss of those innocents beaten down by history. All of this she does in seven chapters with titles such as Laws of Attraction; How and Why; and Shipwreck and Resurrection - using language that curls the ear, wracks the heart and satisfies the mind. Leslie Fried is an archeologist of the soul, digging through the fractured histories of ancestors, and her own past with parents, lovers and sons, to describe the forces that mold our characters and haunt our dreams. She uses her acute powers of observation, and vivid images and metaphors, to relate both the depths of trauma and the heights of delight. She is particularly adept at revealing the deceitfulness we all use to bind others to ourselves and to make sense of our histories. In Leslie's poetic world, time is not linear, love covers a multitude of pains and disappointments, and grace is still possible. Tonja Woelber, author of the poetry collections Glacier Blue (2016) and Tundra Songs (2017). In her debut collection, Lily is Leaving, Leslie Fried writes "on the train my shadow is my letter of introduction." These poems are marked by their sensitivity to lives in transit, lives that need to journey in order to prosper, and, at times, to simply survive. When the speaker finds shelter, it's often outwardly flimsy -"our house is tiny / a chicken coop once /a crazy quilt now /of wood and windows /under the great fir" - but Fried vividly shows us how familial bonds deepen and intimacy flourishes in such idiosyncratic spaces. Indeed, the author delights in all invitations, large or small, that the world extends. And her poems make us at home in that world, as if we, too, are invited to live fully. For instance, she accepts an "Invitation to an Intimate Dinner Room 43, Airport Way South," and dines at "a small square table / covered in butcher paper /folded and taped" an experience that could have passed her by, had she let it. This is a narrator who takes her knocks at times because, fundamentally, she's in cahoots with abundance. When Fried tells us "I am planted and sprouting /in luminous air," we believe her. Deborah Woodard, author of Borrowed Tales

Book excerpt: Thawing the Glacier chronicles the author’s relationship with his wife, from their meeting at a coffeehouse after he answered her personal ad in a local newspaper through their early courtship, the wedding ceremony, a new house, and the beginnings of a family. Ultimately, however, it is a testament to the universal power and strength of the love—in all its forms—between a husband and a wife.
Download or read book The Glacier s Wake written by Katy Didden and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her debut poetry collection The Glacier’s Wake, Katy Didden attends to the large-scale tectonics of the natural world as she considers the sources and aftershocks of mortality, longing, and loss. A number of the poems in the collection are monologues in recurring voices—specifically those of a glacier, a sycamore, and a wasp—offering an inventive, prismatic approach to Didden’s ambitious subject matter. As poet Scott Cairns says, “Didden’s is a capacious voice, able at once to deliver both wit and wonder, canny insight and meditative mystery.” In The Glacier’s Wake, the scientific, the elegiac, and the fantastical intertwine in the service of considering our human place—constructive and destructive, powerful and impermanent—amidst the massive shiftings that are occurring endlessly all around us.
