Fresh Peaches, Fireworks, and Guns
ISBN: 9781557530486 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Language, not geography, is where we live, says the insomniac poet at 4:00 A.M., flipping through all the different stations---grand opera, pop, and punk rock---on his radio. In the listening area that is this first collection of poems, Donald Platt tunes in the dissonances of his own and others' lives. Whatever their occasions, stopping at a roadside fruit stand in Georgia, a retarded brother learning to speak, childhood on a Midwestern farm, a grandmother's quilts, thumbing through the Gideon Bible in a cheap motel, the long algebraic equation of springtime in Virginia, these poems...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) In his sixth book, Donald Platt starts a poem by exclaiming, "The days are one thousand / puzzle pieces."

My Father Says Grace: Poems

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) In his third collection, My Father Says Grace, Donald Platt combines elegy with verse of larger historical allusion and reference. At the center of the book stand poems detailing a father s stroke and slowly developing Alzheimer s disease and how it affects one family. An extended meditation on a mother-in-law s dying provides counterpoint to elegies for more public figures like Walt Whitman and Janis Joplin. The private life in the valley of the shadow of death often gets juxtaposed with explicitly political verse. One of these poems records the racially charged conversations in a small...
