Synopsis
"Smallen deftly uses the heartbreaking power of plain language to allow the hard fact of loss to intrude upon her lovely meditations....Over the course of the book, Smallen transforms snow from a metaphor for loss to a 'mythology of joy,'" Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Literal and imaginary classifications of snow lyrically delineate and frame poems about presence, memory, erasure, making, and meaning. Four of the poems in this collection have been nominated for a Pushcart Prize, and ten have been anthologized. As Alison Hawthorne Deming notes, "Smallen writes with resonant clarity . . . work that beautifully marries attention and evanescence."

Kinds of Snow
Seller: Rarewaves USA, OSWEGO, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Nature provides the lexicon of Kinds of Snow. The poems in Kinds of Snow negotiate many kinds of loss, metaphorically represented as kinds of snow. Classifications of snow, such as prisms, cups, columns, dendrites, and scrolls, mark places among the poems as when, in a weaving, the warp becomes visible. The title poem frames presence, meaning, memory, and erasure. Several of the poems are contained in panels like Rauschenberg's White Paintings. As the poem "Glacier" reflects, the arc of the book is lyrical rather than narrative, "from point A to point A, no point at all." The poem "The Last of" placed second for the Joy Harjo Poetry Award judged by Dorianne Laux. Three of the poems have been nominated for a Pushcart Prize; ten have been anthologized.
