Bücher von Beth Gordon

Beth Gordon''s poetry is amassed here as a provocative narrative. The language is penetrating and captures stark depths of feelings in time of loss and despair. The poems are stories told with raw honesty as well as intensity. Hers is a clever reflective told from a rare but unenviable perspective. Pain and loneliness are revealed through a powerful lens that brings you to the locales portrayed, while forcing you to fell what the author felt. She tell a tale of a woman, strong but sensitive to the ways of our world. This collection is laced with sentiment while eschewing sentimentality and showcasing the artistry of a wandering spirit. ~ Jeffrey-Paul Horn, author of Notes of a Dread-headed Drifter

In her stunning debut collection, "Morning Walk..." Beth Gordon addresses loss and grief in a unique way, blending her impeccable craft with a new vision, a new voice, and indeed a new language; at times formal yet following a new modern standard of magical realism and out of body pain and transcendence. Gordon's poetry is brilliant yet accessible to the masses - and addresses themes and feelings to which all mothers, parents and ultimately humans will relate to and find solace with her tender and sometimes rightfully angry words. She blends the ordinary with the extraordinary using lush, magical words that are sweet in the mouth and roll off the tongue.
