Collecting the Animals

These are poems of the real triumphs we seldom understand, the visions of dawn and dusk over the fields and cities where we live, poems that finally embrace even the emptiness "tasting its bitten face". The book also includes a group of superb reconstructions of Aztec poems which, like Everwine's own work, are sometimes so quiet they are merely a man speaking as plainly as he can of why he lives, and so exact as to be a poetry known long before poetry. That is why they are among the best we have today.Everwine, Peter is the author of 'Collecting the Animals' with ISBN 9780887483240 and ISBN 0887483240.
