My Report from the Uwharries

Beschreibung

In this collection, The Uwharries mountain range represents a state of mind, a beckoning to explore the peaks and plateaus of daily existence as undertaken by a constant foot knight who, under stars or thunderous sky, keeps an eye on what passes by. His investigations must be diligently conducted and findings laid out to the fullest, thereby encouraging the soundest breathing imaginable. There is no need for correction, either of content or pronunciation, for his report is dictated by curiosity alone about the ever-changing gears which distinguish between the unfathomable and the understood. "Each poem is a shimmering invitation to a mysterious journey of resignation, joy, introspection and wonder. Mitchell's themes focus on the precious inevitability of each moment and its transitory nature, guiding readers on their own journey through a profound labyrinth of self-discovery."--Alex Balogh, author of And Poetry.
