Bøger af Mary Lou Buschi

"Through textured landscapes and vivid, bittersweet memories, Mary Lou Buschi invites us into a life in which "not everyone wants to be found." These restrained and tender poems which explore grief, family and growing up Catholic in the 1970s also speak to the riddles of life, death and haunting. In a world where "a Cardinal with one wing whispers our names" and where "white clouds, the size of Bowhead whales" loom in our atmosphere, what does it mean to love and to remember? Blue Physics captures the essence of what it means to "open your mouth wide when you bite the sun," to acknowledge the burdens, mysteries and magic all around us as we go on "aiming at some cold invisible moon," and even as we "disappear into a flask of light." Joan Kwon Glass, Author of Night Swim (Diode Editions, 2022)

Mary Lou Buschi's second collection, Paddock, is a poetic palindrome. Two lost girls attempt to connect by writing letters to "Dear," a mother figure. They also pass the time by telling one another stories that sometimes conjure spirts. Much like Vladimir and Estragon in Waiting for Godot, they wait. Paddock is best read in one gulp, shuttling between Greek tragedy and lyric ellipsis...a poetry of hope, desire, and despair as the girls refuse to let the story end. Girl 2, "Maybe the story has just begun." Here, you will find enter into a lyrical, natural world of image, color. Hear a chorus of sisters. Enter the forest and the sea and be changed,
