Pattiann Rogers Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

Winner of the John Burroughs Medal for Lifetime Achievement in Nature Poetry An award-winning poet who “writes transporting poems of discovery, contemplation, and gratitude” (Booklist) Pattiann Rogers has won acclaim as one of the most original voices in contemporary American poetry. The poems in her new collection, Holy Heathen Rhapsody, embrace and embody the forces of the Earth and the creative power of its lifeforms in all the wildness of their varieties. Love in these poems is a force infused with the same creative power and intensity, the purest manifestation of the will-to-be. This vision and its making contend that even a shadow or a floating seed, a frond of green or a midnight spider, even a mongrel dog, wind over water, the human voice, the human witness, peace and weapons, all—every aspect and feature encountered—are fully endowed players in the dynamic music of the Earth.

Pattiann Rogers has developed a large and diverse following for poems that describe the natural world and one's place in it. In Eating Bread and Honey, she celebrates this connection in her most sensual, lucid verse to a hymn to the human ability to feel through both emotional and physical senses.
