Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In Beyond the Chandeleurs, David Middleton completes a long journey home to his native South, his beloved Louisiana, and his Anglican faith. This collection, whose title refers to barrier islands off the Louisiana coast, takes the poet beyond earlier doubts concerning the cosmos and its Creator to a loving trust in Providence often expressed in psalm-like poems that celebrate both the beauty and the rational intelligibility of the natural order of things.The Louisiana poems- set in the Protestant north of the poet's childhood and in the Roman Catholic south where he now resides- richly evoke the flora, fauna, geography, and history of the state and also honor family members, including Middleton's father, who is memorialized in For an Artist with Parkinson's. In The Duck Hunt, Middleton contrasts the oil rigs off the Louisiana coast- where men desperately seek more oil to keep the modern world going- with the primitive coastland marshes where hunters are taken back momentarily to archaic times (""This open wilderness of grass and mud""). Other poems, such as The Yeoman Farmers, Dinner on the Ground, and Oak Alley, are meditations on the history of the South that reveal Middleton as a late inheritor of the Agrarian tradition. Indeed, At Franklin is in direct response to Allen Tate's famous Ode to the Confederate Dead, to letters on that poem between Tate and Donald Davidson, and to Davidson's own answering poem to Tate, The Last Charge.With its extraordinary sense of place, artful storytelling, and wide range of verse forms and language, Beyond the Chandeleurs is a volume to cherish. This collection of poems celebrates the author's journey home to his native South, his beloved Louisiana, and his Anglican faith. The verse richly evokes the flora, fauna, geography, and history of the state. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
