Articoli correlati a Shaler's Fish: Poems
Before Helen Macdonald chronicled the experience of adopting a goshawk in her bestselling bookH Is for Hawk, she was a poet. With a masterful ear for musical phrasing as well as an utterly unique way of seeing the earth around her, she writes deft, daring verse; her language is melodic and opulent while her observations are shrewd and incisive. From "the new world":
What is a hand for, but to be held? It is raining
in Georgia it is raining all over the world [. . .]
every moment describes some other music
and I cannot remember banality ever existing.
These poems are lush, lyrical and vibrantly evocative, parsing images from the landscape and then turning inward to consider the human consciousness that witnesses, processes, and manipulates the landscape. From an outstanding literary innovator,Shaler’s Fish is a joyous celebration of the natural world and a profound meditation on being alive in it.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Before Helen Macdonald rose to international acclaim with her beautiful and nearly feral (New York Times) bestselling memoir H Is for Hawk, she wrote a collection of poetry, Shaler's Fish. In robust, lyrical verse, Shaler's Fish roams both the outer and inner landscapes of the poet's universe, seamlessly fusing reflections on language, science, and literature, with the loamy environments of the natural worlds around her. Moving between the epic--war, history, art, myth, philosophy--and the specific--CNN, Ancient Rome, Auden, Merleau-Ponty--Macdonald examines with humor and intellect what it means to be awake and watchful in the world. These are poems that probe and question, within whose nimble ecosystems we are as likely to encounter Schubert as we are a hand of violets, Isaac Newton as a winged quail on turf. Nothing escapes Macdonald's eye and every creature herein--from the smallest bird to the loftiest thinker--holds a significant place in her poems. This is an unparalleled collection from one of greatest nature writers, and a poet of dazzling music and vision.
