| Synopsis: |
This title includes radiant and engaging new poems by a deeply thoughtful and reflective poet. In his third collection of poems Todd Davis advises us that 'the only corruption comes/in not loving this life enough'. Over the course of this masterful and heartfelt book, it becomes clear that Davis not only loves the life he's been given, but also believes that the ravishing desire of this world can offer hope, and even joy, however it might be negotiated. Drawing upon a range of stories from the Christian, Transcendental, and Asian traditions, as well as from his own deep understanding of the natural world, Davis explores the connection between the visible and invisible worlds, or what Pierre Teilhard de Chardin called 'the incandescent surface of matter plunged in God'. A direct poetic descendant of Walt Whitman, Davis invites us to sing 'the songs we collect in the hymnals of our flesh/impromptu, a cappella, our mouths flung open/in a great wide O'. |
