Book Synopsis Heard-Hoard by : Atsuro Riley

Download or read book Heard-Hoard written by Atsuro Riley. This book was released on 2024-05-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Alice Fay di Castagnola Award from the Poetry Society of America, this collection of verse from Atsuro Riley offers a vivid weavework rendering and remembering an American place and its people. Recognized for his “wildly original” poetry and his “uncanny and unparalleled ability to blend lyric and narrative,” Atsuro Riley deepens here his uncommon mastery and tang. In Heard-Hoard, Riley has “razor-exacted” and “raw-wired” an absorbing new sequence of poems, a vivid weavework rendering an American place and its people. At once an album of tales, a portrait gallery, and a soundscape; an “inscritched” dirt-mural and hymnbook, Heard-Hoard encompasses a chorus of voices shot through with (mostly human) histories and mysteries, their “old appetites as chronic as tides.” From the crackling story-man calling us together in the primal circle to Tammy figuring “time and time that yonder oak,” this collection is a profound evocation of lives and loss and lore.

Book excerpt: "Recognized by the Whiting Awards for his 'wildly original' poetry and his "uncanny and unparalleled ability to blend lyric and narrative," Atsuro Riley extends and deepens his uncommon mastery here. In Heard-Hoard, Riley has 'razor-exacted' and 'raw-wired' this absorbing new sequence of poems, a vivid weavework rendering and remembering an American place and its people.

From the crackling story-man calling us together in the primal circle to Tammy figuring "time and time that yonder oak," Atsuro Riley's new collection is a profound evocation of lives and lore, "a lit meat-mesh of heards." In an early blurb, Linda Gregerson writes, "The category of the 'mythic' has been much cheapened by overuse, but Heard-Hoard restores the term to its original and originary power. The English language has rarely been so richly augmented in such little space. His first book won Riley an extensive and passionate following. His readers will be thrilled, as I am, by this new collection." Contracts, Rights, and Permissions"--

Book Synopsis Romey's Order by : Atsuro Riley

Download or read book Romey's Order written by Atsuro Riley. This book was released on 2010-04-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romey's Order is an indelible sequence of poems voiced by an invented (and inventive) boy-speaker called Romey, set alongside a river in the South Carolina lowcountry. As the word-furious eye and voice of these poems, Romey urgently records--and tries to order--the objects, inscape, injuries, and idiom of his "blood-home" and childhood world. Sounding out the nerves and nodes of language to transform "every burn-mark and blemish," to “bind our river-wrack and leavings," Romey seeks to forge finally (if even for a moment) a chord in which he might live. Intently visceral, aural, oral, Atsuro Riley's poems bristle with musical and imaginative pleasures, with story-telling and picture-making of a new and wholly unexpected kind.
