From Whence: Poems
ISBN: 9780807132241 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This new collection of lyric poetry uses the idea of the "threshold moment" as its central metaphor. Chitwood's threshold moments can be anything from the instant when a rock being held up by a frozen pond melts through and makes its plunge to the moment when a child realizes his childhood is lost forever. The poems demonstrate that these moments can bring about changes for either better or worse. Chitwood describes this collection as a hymn to both the joy and loss that can be found in these transitional moments.

Advance praise: Andrew Hudgins says, "No book about happiness has made me half as happy as I was made by POOR-MOUTH JUBILEE, Michael Chitwood's sublime book about sorrow. Chitwood gives sorrow all its due respect - and no more, so the book is often laugh-out funny in its wisdom. POOR-MOUTH JUBILEE pulses with the exhilaration of being alive." And Sydney Lea says, "At a time when 'religion' is too often misrepresented by literalists and scorekeepers, all through Poor-Mouth Jubilee we're reminded that genuine belief (and doubt) resists the sound bite. The moment we try to articulate a thing as...

Coming into first light after working the midnight shift in a factory. These are small moments in everyday jobs, but such moments can glint with a light that is anything but ordinary. The poems in LIVING WAGES seek that light. In his ninth book, Michael Chitwood describes physically hard, sometimes dangerous labor, but also of quiet housekeeping chores and office routines. We call this "making a living," the day-to-day way that we get through our lives and pay for the roof over our heads. Whether going to the cellar for a jar of pickles or drilling a...
