Produktbeschreibung
In his book of poems, In the Hushed Thunder, Ken Hebson explores the Buddhist thought that " a move in space would not/affect at all who we are." In these poems, published by Green Place Books posthumously, Hebson takes us to a generous portion of the world where he captures his sense of place through close attention to detail. In spare and concrete language Hebson helps us feel places we are not likely to know firsthand. But Hebson's collection is not a travelogue. Interspersed among the place poems are beautiful pieces speaking to the human condition. Hebson draws poetry from his life on a farm in southern Spain and from moments in his daily life, and at its end.

Autorenporträt
Kenneth Hebson (1940-2022) graduated from the University of Michigan in 1966. He then traveled all over the world and had many amazing adventures. Spain was the country that captured his heart and remained his passion throughout his life. Ken and his wife Susan bought a farm there and raised pigs for years before returning to the U.S. to work for The Ford Motor Company. Ken worked for Ford in several countries for his 15 years in foreign service. From Spain to Venezuela, to Mexico to Japan, and Detroit in between. Settling in Brattleboro in 1991, he lived out the rest of his years there spending his time writing poetry and working on his memoir. A caring husband and father, a published poet, an avid writer, an engaging storyteller, and a lifelong Buddhist. Ken was a true Renaissance man. He was overjoyed to have this book come out and we honor his memory with it.
