Produktbeschreibung

Julie Hanson's award-winning collection, Unbeknownst, gives us plainspoken poems of unstoppable candor. They are astonished and sobered by the incoming data; they are funny; they are psychologically accurate and beautifully made. Hanson's is a mind interested in human responsibility-to ourselves and to each other-and unhappy about the disappointments that are bound to transpire ("e;We've been like gods, our powers wasted"e;). These poems are lonely with spiritual longing and wise with remorse for all that cannot last."e;The Kindergartners"e; begins, "e;All their lives they've waited for / the yellow bus to come for them,"e; then moves directly to the present reality: "e;Now it's February and the mat / is wet."e; Settings and events are local and familiar, never more exotic than a yoga session at the Y, one of several instances where the body is central to the report and to the net result ("e;I slip in and fold / behind the wheel into the driver's seat like a thin young thing: / My organs are surely glistening. This car was made for me."e;). These poems are intimate revelations, thinking as they go, including the reader in the progress of their thoughts.
