A work of nonfiction with the form and imagery of a novel, Angelhead enables the reader to witness not only the fragmenting of a mind but of a family as well. …

Paperback. Etat : Good. Armored Hearts offers the power of idiomatic narrative at its naked best. David Bottoms joins a generous collection of new poems with those selected from four previous volumes published to critical and popular acclaim, locating a mythic dimension within common experience. He presents dramatic stories in rich language falling in natural and captivating cadences until we are caught up in his world, forced finally to look into our own innermost nature. Naming Bottoms the winner of the Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets in 1979, Robert Penn Warren noted, In his vision the actual world is not transformed, but illumnated. Bottoms brings us into the terrain of ruin and hope and beauty, reminding us again and again that it is our own temporal reality, not the real world, that is fragile.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. "[Bottoms] makes astounding leaps of both faith and doubt, and does so with insight, honesty, and flashes of anger--all characteristic elements of his work." --The Southern Review "One finds here what one expects in a book of good Southern poems: clear narratives . . . evocative images, searching irony, and meditative poise." --Library Journal "Bottoms' poems do what the best poems have always done: They compel us to reread them. They linger in our minds. They alter our perception of the world." --Atlanta Journal-Constitution David Bottoms explores otherness, the death of parents, and private spirituality. Images of rural Georgia confront the changing landscape of his memories where he searches for refuge in quiet places of prayer. Rooted in nature, Bottoms' poetry affirms the "tenuous ways tenderness seeps into the world" and the loneliness inherent in memory. Memory is "smoke off a damp fire" as Bottoms explores absence, a contemplative inner life, and changing landscapes.

Near the end, though, only one thing matters, and nothing, not even the fox, moves as quietly. David Bottoms is the author of eight books of poetry and has received the Walt Whitman Award, fellowships from the NEA and Guggenheim Foundation, and served as Poet Laureate of Georgia for twelve years. He currently holds the Amos Distinguished Chair in English at Georgia State University. …
