Cliff Burns

The Definition of Melancholy (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In his latest book of poetry, and first in nearly five years, Canadian author Cliff Burns ranges from the microscopic to the macro universe, taking note of the cultural and spiritual touchstones that shape and color our existence. Love, beauty, threats to the natural world and aspirations for the stars vie for space in this slim volume of verse. Humanity should achieve so much, instead of settling for the dregs. The poet invites readers to dream bigger, looking up at the heavens with hope and wonder, escaping the mundanity of modern life for a few unforgettable moments.

Autorenporträt

I've been a professional writer for over thirty-five years and have 16 books and well over 100 published short stories to my credit (including 15 major anthology appearances).

In 2023, I wrote and produced "Standing At an Angle to the Universe", a ten-part podcast devoted to books, literature and the writing life (available on Spotify, Podbean, etc.).

A partial list of my titles: SO DARK THE NIGHT, ELECTRIC CASTLES, DISLOYAL SON and THE LAST HUNT.

Two of my books have been shortlisted for national independent press prizes and my work has earned praise from reviewers and readers around the world, including STRANGE ADVENTURES (U.K.) who wrote: "At last Canada has a literary equivalent of David Cronenberg!"

All of my novels and collections are available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble...or (preferably) can be ordered through your favourite local independent book shop.
