Bøger af Tim Hawkins

Jeremiad Johnson is the work of poet, Tim Hawkins , who is well known to both Australian and US readers. In this remarkable work, Hawkins creates an extraordinary figure of our times-Jeremiad Johnson-an evolutionary offspring of the semi-legendary John 'Liver-Eating' Johnson of the North American West.As Hawkins says, "These poems are Johnson's bilious jeremiad, his prolonged lamentation, complaint, screed, rant, cautionary tale and harangue-by turns irascible, peevish, chastened and accepting."Praise for Jeremiad Johnson"Tim Hawkins' Jeremiad Johnson balances on the razor wire between natural beauty and disgust with the world as it has devolved to us. ...what Hawkins reveals in his poems is a fortifying or merciless vision. Sometimes both."Elizabeth Kerlikowske"In Jeremiad Johnson, Hawkins takes on the poetic voice of a common man surviving somehow in this world we all share together. This is deft observational poetry that escorts readers into the familiar and recognizable scenes that Hawkins paints for us with vivid imagery, touches of irony and subtle humility." Barry Harris

"Tim Hawkins has traveled far and returned to tell us what he saw. His outward journeys find a parallel in his equally exotic inward wanderings, in visionary reveries of the people and places he has loved. In a way these are almost all love poems by a man with a burning passion for existence, fraught though it may be. The intoxicating intersection of inner and outer is where many of them live, mingling the careful observations of the senses with the modifications of memory so that we experience each scene, each character (including his own, about which he is unsparing), from multiple angles and in the completeness of time. Whether he's writing free or formal verse, this approach makes it almost holographic and often quite memorable, as in this brief example, a poem called "What Have I Done?": "No real food or sleep for days- / only doll's head tea in a rusty bucket / brewed with scalding tears.""--
