Gabriele D.R. Guenther

Opis

Gedichte in englischer Sprache (Kanada)Readers often shy away from poetry because they believe it to be too elitist, too complicated, something to be "handled with care." In this book, however, the poems are about everyday life and objects such as toothbrushes or smartphones, spanning a wide range of topics, experiences and emotions. The poet was born and raised in Japan so various locations in that country form the basis of her work in which narrative and imagery play an integral role. Though not consecutively, the onus then moves to Canada, another of the poet's homelands, before it swerves off to Europe. Enjoy the read.
