Face Up: A Collection of Outlaw Poems, Paperback - Suzanne Nielsen

Detalii:

WINNER OF THE 2021 OLEB BOOKS POETRY PRIZEFace Up: A Collection of Outlaw Poems is a volume of unmistakable power. Defying social expectations, Suzanne Nielsen writes I was born in the mid-fifties with fists for hands because / in utero / I knew life wasnt fooling around. As she explores recurrent themes of physical illness, depression, and addiction, she demonstrates self-awareness gleaned from a life lived fully.Suzanne Nielsens poems are peopled with wry survivors attending to their lives with purpose and humor. A newly sober friend will jingle his medallion in his pocket / and mimic a canine sense of direction. An adult navigating clinical depression will climb into bed wearing . . . street clothes that havent seen the streets for weeks. Relationships form in unexpected ways. Bertha from the Midway swore to sit on them, / and I swore to watch her back, / and we became best friends for those ten days. In these poems of tenderness and grit, sorrow is always accompanied by wonder.Book specifications:Dimensions: 229 x 152Author: Suzanne NielsenCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2022Publishing Month: 5Pages: 84Language: EnglishPublisher: Oleb BooksWeight: 122 g
