Описание: Micah Towery's poems are little miracles of lyric intelligence pitched against a skeptic's need for faith: faith in God, faith in other people, faith in love, and faith that daily life means more than its repetitions and its downward spiral toward death. His devotion to the clear expression of such mixed emotions is reflected in how these poems are by turns satiric, tender, self-deprecating, and vulnerable. And as if to match this wide range of tone, his idiom is among the most varied and surprising of any writer of his generation: he moves from high style to plain style with the assurance of O'Hara and Bishop at their best. I greatly admire the integrity of feeling in these poems, their sophistication, and their devotion to subjects that are large and important and deeply felt.-Tom Sleigh, winner of the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award One of these poems] figures God's face as a hammer, and I'm tempted to apply the same metaphor to Towery's craft. It could be either the ball peen of an industrial worker or else a sculptor's hammer, one that overcomes the resistance of metallic or stony material....With the hammer of his art, this poet has knocked on the firmament, and the firmament has opened. If the light he found there was not fully comprehended, neither was it engulfed in darkness. The light he saw, he relays to us in turn. -Alfred Corn, from the introduction I predict in the coming weeks months years we'll all say one thing about Whale of Desire: this is the book we've been waiting, anxiously, to appear on the scenes. Part Confession (a la Augustine), part pyrrhonism skepticism, part mythical, completely contemporary, Towery's debut collection is the grittiest prayer: "may they find us too heavy-May they leave us to our ways-May we become two fattened saints stupid with prayer." -Metta S ma, author of Nocturne Trio (YesYes B ks) Artists of the great spirit such as Saint Augustine, or Rumi, or John Coltrane, know the space between the invisible and the visible is what we make. In this slim book of lyrics and portraits Micah Towery laces up the profound from the mundane and daily detritus of work and loss and love, to take us to someplace healing, inside an old yet new kind of choreography: "I counterpoint even hands to fingers, choose instead, no word for sorrow." -Sean Thomas Dougherty, author of All You Ask for Is Longing (BOA Editions)

Описание:
When Sara's dear friend Jamie asks her to help with restoration of her hometown, Harrow Springs, Mississippi, after a tornado ravages it, Sara is hesitant but eventually agrees. She hasn't been back in eight years-not since leaving her first love, Walt, behind. Although she hasn't fully gotten over him, she hopes returning will help her put her past to rest. After all, Walt will be thousands of miles away, working on a large project elsewhere.
Walt did not expect to be free to help with the rebuilding of Harrow Springs. But when his father and his brother, Ben, tell him that their neighbor and friend Jamie is heading the project, he rearranges his schedule to be there personally and help out. He has no idea that Jamie has called in Sara as well, the woman who left him heartbroken eight years ago. As the two are thrown together for the greater good of the community, they find themselves just as drawn to one another as they were before. Only time will tell, however, whether they can overcome their hurt and pride and find love once more.
In this novel, two people in love but long estranged must work to move past old pain and misunderstandings to find a new start together.

Particularly if your child is suicidal, this just might save their life.
