Читать книгу Still Working It Out - Brad Davis - Страница 4

“This stirring collection moves, as the author puts it in ‘Port au Prince,’ at ‘the sweet, stubborn pace of love and sorrow.’ This would be a less persuasive collection if it failed to confront all its sorrows head-on; and yet, by way of scrupulous and ultimately affectionate attention even, say, to ‘the unhappy widower who lied to you and yelled at your kids,’ it demonstrates that love, divine and human at once, must prevail. One comes away from Davis’s book with an assurance available only by grace.”

—Sydney Lea, Poet Laureate of Vermont

“A lovely collection, filled with calmly spoken words and subtle blessing light.”

—Dick Allen, Poet Laureate of Connecticut
