Still Working It Out: Poems - Paperback

by Brad Davis (Author)

In various voices and with a range of strategies, these poems speak of and into the collisions we experience day in and day out--collisions with nature, art, language, religion, family, imagination, new and old ways of seeing and navigating the world--collisions that result in loss and sadness, confusion and laughter, gratitude and amazement. Still Working It Out, a collection that moves freely between memory and invention, embodies a faithful struggle to attend to and engage life with all senses on high alert for what may crush or sustain or gloriously transfigure.
