Produktbeschreibung
These 37 poems find mystery and wonder in everyday objects and settings-from Adirondack snow-covered chairs to an autumnal beach on an inland sea to a city garden between high-rise walls. Boling invites us to witness, often with irony and humor, life's many dramas. A puppy refuses to give up a dead mouse he's tracked to the bushes, the poet takes a shower with a large black ant, an entire neighborhood parades daily just to get a glimpse of nesting owls. Boundaries are transgressed by ordinary events, unavoidable change, and natural cataclysmic forces, and yet these poems, never morose, pay homage to the permeable worlds we all inhabit. In Here Beyond Small Wonders, there is no such thing as an insignificant life or death.
