Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Gerry Sloan's poetry 'orchestrates a life of observation and attention, of figurative ideas captured in verse, and of love for the things of this world. It is divided into suites linked thematically and delicately by family, politics, history, music, love, and loss. 'I think about the crazy / creatures we've become- / our constant contradictions, / predilection for metaphor- / towns named after conditions / for the lives we share and are.' Gerry Sloan's command of metaphor, tone, and rhythm together with his keen eye for the contradictions of everyday life make for a powerful volume' (quote by Zohreh T. Sullivan). Gerry Sloan is a professor of music at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, and his poetry has appeared in such journals as Yarrow, Negative Capability, The Nebraska Review, North Dakota Quarterly, The Christian Science Monitor, and the Anthology of Magazine Verse & Yearbook of American Poetry.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Mid/South Sonnets brings together sixty-six poets with ties throughout the American South. From Oklahoma to Florida- with larger clusters of work from the more centrally located Mid-Southern states, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee- the states represented through these writers offer a wide range of landscapes and perspectives that speak to the region's eclectic nature. While this anthology includes many conventional and experimental approaches to the sonnet form, each poem ultimately enacts an attempt to struggle through the anxieties of home in the hope of finding a place to love and belong.…

Paperback. Condition: New. This anthology features forty talented writers from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, and other surrounding states that represent a unique part of American culture. While this region is often misunderstood as one type of place, the Mid-South belongs to a little bit of everywhere: part Southwest, part Midwest, part South-always wild. Our area of the country is both a space of its own and part of a larger, complicated Southern world: the "Mid/South." In this collection, poetry, short stories, and essays offer glimpses into this in-between place as they explore the complexities of our relationships to each other as well as to the natural world. Whether through vivid landscapes, family dramas, or bittersweet love stories, each piece brings more insight into what it means to be from around here.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Plums are not the only fruit that grows in this orchard of deftly crafted and sagely insightful new poems from Arkansas poet Gerry Sloan. There are also wild grapes, mulberries, and watermelons thumped for ripeness. Like those plums 'plucked from the fencerow / on Decoration Day,' they all flourish on trees, bushes, and vines that in the landscape of the poet's imagination line the boundary between past and present, the living and the dead, innocence and experience, what we have lost and what we can still become. In Cemetery Plums, Sloan proves once again that he is a master at finding the greatest truths in life's simplest experiences and at discovering in the natural world the metaphors we live by.-Michael Blanchard, author, The Things of This World and editor, SLANTA retired music professor and lifelong poet, Gerry Sloan instinctively grants his poetry perspective and music. Riffing through time and experience and emotion, Sloan examines the lives we lead and breathes melody and rhythm into this existence, while deftly sounding the notes of integrity, hope, and compassion.-Phillip Howerton, author, The History of Tree Roots and Gods of Four Mile CreekGerry Sloan's Cemetery Plums awakens us to everything we're prone to overlook, whether a spider swinging 'on a single sparkling strand of gossamer' or a dream that would speak to us if we'd only listen - and Sloan is always listening, with all of his senses. I adore his wit, self-effacing, dry, ironic, and feel his melancholy, rooted in an acute sense of mortality. You will find, too, in these brilliant yet companionable poems, Sloan's deep, vulnerable love for earth and kin. In 'Searching for Muscadines,' he writes, 'If you should someday find me wandering / distractedly by a rural fencerow, please / think of this poem and know I haven't / entirely lost my mind, Dad still out there / somewhere, guiding me to the ripest ones.'-Suzanne Underwood Rhodes, Arkansas Poet Laureate and author, The Perfume of Pain. …
