Synopsis
In Terra Firma , Selected by Denise Levertov for the National Poetry Series and winner of the 1991 American Book Award and the Bay Area Book Reviewers' Award, Thomas Centolella establishes a mature vision, with narratives and meditations that seek a communal condition. In poems spoken intimately, as though to a friend, Centolella balances between the stoical and the sentimental, visiting a "permanent" earth which remains forever temporal in human experience, searching for the sacramental, redemptive experience that binds apparent opposites., Poetry. Winner of the 1991 American Book Award and the Bay Area Book Reviewers' Award. "Selected by Denise Levertov for the National Poetry Series, this generally strong first collection, often set in the San Francisco Bay Area or in the wilderness, showcases Centolella's gift for finding wonder in the quotidian, for recovering 'the taken-for-granted.' In 'Task, ' the poet writes, 'It's not a savior the world needs / but a savoring spirit, a way to relish what's already / begun to vanish, ' and his best work celebrates the beauty, evanescence and inevitable grief of mortal life. An elegy for his Lebanese grandmother, 'Sito, ' is especially moving, as is 'Ossi dei morti' (bones of the dead), about the Italian sweet so named: 'It's dark and bittersweet, / this chocolate marrow, this brief time / people call a life. We bite into it / hard. We do this together. / A local cure for sorrow.' At their least interesting, the poems suffer from pedestrianism and an abrupt, gunshot style--e.g., in 'The Garden': 'The closer to terra firma one is / the more firma one feels. After a long hike, I stink, / therefore I am'"--Publishers Weekly.

- 3***a (33)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufI had some concerns about mold (the book I purchased is out of print and old) and the seller was kind enough to check the book out for me. They were also reassuring of their return policy if there was any problem. The book arrived as expected and was packaged securely and thoroughly.
