Sudden Geography

Résumé du livre

"In the painterly and gorgeously wrought poems of Sudden geography, Diane LeBlanc gracefully navigates a passionate spectrum between presence and absence : a bright salamander taking temporary refuge within the frill of a rhubarb leaf; a sunflower neck minus its yellow head; the mint patch holding the shape of a beloved dog now gone; a gift of tulips drying and scattering on a lost friend's grave; attentiveness to small quotidian beauties in the face of inevitable flux and transformative uncertainties. These poems chart their own circadian rhythms with thoughtful compassion and fierce splendor--the wintry loveliness of despair a palimpsest, or fulcrum, upon which swings the memory of cardinals, the bitter promise of fiddleheads, or the dream of a moose in a field of columbine."--Back cover.
