Recenzii
“Original and rhapsodic, rich in tender details, Snider’s beautiful book is driven by acceptance: the rarest of spiritual fruits.”—Spencer Reece, author of The Road to Emmaus and The Clerk’s Tale
“Snider’s ravishing new collection examines the ways family is made—the histories we come from, our choices in who and what to nurture. Here are elegies for the self, litanies for the dead, a childlessness both mourned and celebrated, a life ripe with every hurt and desire.”—Traci Brimhall, author of Saudade and Our Lady of the Ruins
“Deeply felt and beautifully built, Fruit is a remarkable book that braids yearning and endurance into sweeping and exquisite music.”—Eduardo C. Corral, author of Guillotine and Slow Lightning

Extras
What in me, I wonder, is me
as the world goes on copying itself—
black seeds sprouting green,
egg sacks on the gray spider.

Descriere
What is a man if he is not the maker of another man? Bruce Snider’s third poetry collection grapples with what it means to be childless in a world obsessed with procreation. Poems move between the scientific and the Biblical, effortlessly delivering conflicted and celebratory answers to pressing questions of love, death, and biology.
