The Wrenching of the Hip That Precedes the Blessing
Daniel R. Jones
Información del libro
What do you get when you cross the Good Samaritan, existential androids, and Midwestern pastoral scenes? Either a bad joke or the first poetry collection from Daniel R. Jones. In equal parts levity and contemplation, Jones delivers a uniquely accessible poetic voice. Whether he's exploring spirituality, the far-reaches of speculative fiction, or the tedium of life in a fly-over state, each piece is poignant and filled with a sense of quiet wonder. The poems oscillate between lighthearted quipping (as seen in "To Caligula, from His Horse" and "Odin and I Race for the Runes"), wide-eyed introspection (as seen in "Veering" and "The Brunt of the Curse"), and spiritual rumination (as seen in "The Sheen in Dirty Things" and "Beyond the Balustrade").Whatever the subject-matter or style of the poem, these pieces are sure to satisfy, inviting the reader into transcendence--whether that be through laughter, contemplation of God, or self-reflection.
