Polly Alice McCann

    Polly Alice McCann, kunstenares en Engelse professor, creëert lyrische poëzie die de verhalen van het innerlijke hartland verkent. Haar werk, geïnformeerd door droomonderzoek en haar artistieke gevoeligheid, duikt vaak in de botten en het merg van vrouwelijke ervaringen in het hedendaagse Amerika. Als oprichter van FLYING KETCHUP PRESS vindt McCann diepe voldoening in het vertellen van verhalen – of het nu de hare, die van anderen of misschien die van u zijn. Haar poëzie wordt gekenmerkt door een subtiel kleurgebruik en een doordringende blik op de zoektocht naar zichtbaarheid.

      In this new collection, Polly Alice returns with her familiar style of lyrical free verse–this time, with an emphasis on spoken word. With inspiration from the garden you'll take a joy ride with flowers, greet the rising moon, and join Polly in the "night garden" “It doesn’t matter what we bury here,bodies or bones, bread or baskets,tares or tears,we have until the wind chimes Yeah,we have until chimes.”Polly’s fourth book of narrative poetry explores storytelling and is a great companion book to her first three collections also by Flying Ketchup Press.

      Kinlight: Homegrown Poems

      • 64bladzijden
      • 3 uur lezen

      A handful of heartland in these narrative free verse by author and artist, Polly Alice McCann. These poems speak with a uniquely deep-rooted voice. What do women need to become visible? she asks. "Light and the ability to imagine growth, --nothing is more powerful. There is always time to change direction if we believe in walking over the broken shards of glass to the other side." Polly's lyrical poems, explore faith, loss, and the measures a woman might take to rise up: "I will not forget," she writes. "I am woman, all things began in me." Ghosts and vapors; flour and light-- her imagery remains subtle in color but dives into bone and marrow of one woman's journey in today's America. For more work by this author, read her second book of poems, Tea with Alice.
