Böcker av Denise Provost

"City of Stories is a full length poetry collection which explores the narratives we construct to shape our world. In three thematic sections, these poems observe the shared experiences of community, reactions to current events, and the imaginative life sparked by interactions with literature. Many of these poems employ formal conventions: Shakespearean and Petrarchan sonnets; quatrains, heroic couplets, the ghazal and the ballade."--

These poems are ?old-fashioned? in the best sense of that term?unabashedly romantic and joyful in their celebration of the natural world. Full of feeling butnot the least bit sentimental, this collection offers a welcome contrast to the angst and pessimism that seems to inspire so much contemporary poetry. ? Charles Coe ? author of Memento Mori
