The Divining Rod - Softcover

Hubbard, Andrew

 
9781925231311: The Divining Rod

Synopsis

An earthy second collection from Andrew Hubbard, whose work divines the poetic from things ordinary, recalling the lyrical mastery of Frost. His words trill with birdsong and sparkle with the first touch of sunrise on a waking forest.


Andrew Hubbard’s poems are exceptional for their working-class portraits and their well-placed epiphanies. His poems glow when he lets the natural world adorn his narratives with insight. Like John Beecher and Philip Levine, his gift is an utter lack of nonsense.


– Jim Thompson, Cacti Fur


Andrew Hubbard shows us the things we forget to look at. He inspires us with sun flashes on the lake, the curios of childhood, the magic found in nature, and the humor between jokes and rules. His voice is authentic, his lessons and imagery profound, the poems fresh and vivid, the writing superb.


– Janine Pickett, Founding Editor, Indiana Voice Journal
