Drumbeats
Autor Philip Mathisen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 mai 2023
DRUMBEATS encompasses a diverse collection of poems inspired in large measure by Native American beliefs and traditions. Poems in the collection are framed in language that evokes vivid images and deep emotions - language with natural rhythm, internal rhyme, alliterative phrase, and unmistakable resonance.
Perhaps the most pervasive theme emerges from repeated references to burial mounds: archaeological monuments that relate to spirituality, reverence for the past, and the human need to engage in reflection and self-examination.
Native American burial grounds are earthen temples. To stand quietly and alone before an ancient mound is to resurrect the past, glimpse the limits of human understanding, and conjure the far-off sound of drumbeats.

Notă biografică
He retired as dean of Middle Tennessee State University's Honors College in 2008 after many years of service as a professor of biology. As an educator, he was active in professional circles, played significant leadership roles, and was recognized multiple times for exemplary teaching and scholarship. His scholarly work is documented by journal articles, essays, technical guides, and as an author or co-author of more than a dozen books/laboratory manuals, and by the University Foundation's Career Achievement Award and the Society of College Science Teachers' Outstanding Undergraduate Science Teacher Award. Mathis is more than a science educator and scientist; he is also a poet, an author of short stories, a bird watcher, a conservationist, a fan of spectator sports, and a collector of American antiques.
His poems appear in several journals and anthologies and in two books: one that he edited (Time and Tradition, Twin Oaks Press, 2011), and one that he authored (Wandering in the Woods, Xlibris, 2012). Drumbeats is Mathis' third book devoted exclusively to poetry.
