Synopsis

In this collection of ninety new poems, Red Hawk touches raw nerves in a spectrum of vital subjects -- from children, nature and family, to God, politics and death. Whether he is telling a funny story about himself, or indicting Western civilization, from its blindness and cruelty, Red Hawk's words are always precise, often ruthless, and ultimately compassionate. Unlike so many contemporary poets whose work is lost on the ordinary reader, Red Hawk's poetry is written for everyone.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Red Hawk teaches English at the University of Arkansas at Monticello. He has written four books of poetry, and counts among his greatest fans a collection of critics that include Pulitzer Prize winners, National Book Award Winners and a Poet Laureate of the United States.

What makes Red Hawk maybe the most unique voice in American poetry? One thing all his critics agree on: spare language, plain, even everyday...."until the insight that you didn't see coming hits you and takes your breath away."

Red Hawk gives his own rules of thumb for writing: Always tell the truth no matter how bad you think it makes you look. Write what's in your body, what you know.
