Böcker av Joseph Hutchison

A GOOD WORKS PROJECT: All proceeds benefit the Malala Fund.On the one-year anniversary of 15-year-old Malala Yousafzai's shooting by the Taliban for speaking out for the right of girls to an education, FutureCycle Press published a poetry collection in her honor. Edited by poets Joseph Hutchison and Andrea L. Watson, men and women all over the world contributed work to this anthology as part of a global outpouring of support for Malala. FutureCycle Press donates all proceeds from sale of the paperback and Kindle editions to the Malala Fund. To help raise awareness of her cause, a PDF version is also available on the press website for free download and sharing.

The road a poet travels is often littered with unrealized fragments, half-realized drafts, and unfinished poems that found their ways into a magazine but never earned their way into a book. If a poet is lucky, a few of such left-behinds might be "rescued," released into their true form thanks to abilities that have ripened over many years of practice. In Under Sleep's New Moon, Joseph Hutchison (Colorado Poet Laureate, 2014-2019) offers a range of such poems, all rescued from twenty years of writing between 1970-1990. The poems in this new/old collection are by turns personal and public, surreal and naturalistic, musical and plain-spoken. But all explore the liminal regions we live in every day, too often unconscious of what we're finding there. What this poet found there he has lifted into new configurations, where at last the poems can speak for themselves.
