Partially Excited States de Charles Hood

Partially Excited States: Wisconsin Poetry Series

Autor Charles Hood
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 mar 2017
Charles Hood shows us a strange and perplexing world that runs on sadness, microbrews, snack cakes, and inexplicable magic. Brimming with natural history and bright flashes of language, his poems focus on transformations. He takes us from Paleolithic caves to modern movie theaters, and along the way we fix time machines with Tom Hanks, enter a Rousseau painting, and collect diamonds from the moons of Neptune.
