Reflected Currents From The Boston Skyline - Poems (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The idea of using the city of Boston as the theme for this small collection of poems originated one warm spring evening while the poet was stopped in traffic on the Tobin Bridge. Enjoying the spectacular view of the city at night, he and his teenage granddaughter Olivia marveled at the brilliance of Boston's skyline. From the first poem, "Big Papi", about the legendary Boston Red Sox baseball player, Reflected Currents From The Boston Skyline celebrates Boston and its importance as a source of energy and light for those who live in and near this great city. A poem reliving the author's experience while attending a production at Cambridge's A.R.T. as well as another honoring Irish poet Seamus Heaney, who served as Poet-In-Residence at Harvard, extols Boston's long-standing reputation as a major literary city. Poems with Massachusetts settings south of Boston, places such as the Marshfield Fairgrounds, a local town common, and a moonlit beach on Cape Cod, all capture the reach of Boston's powerful aura. And even in poems set in other states and countries, Boston becomes the metric by which the rest of the world is measured and the welcome beacon for the return trip home.
