Song of the Overcast

von Beverly Voigt

44 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

We are the overcast, those living beneath the clouds, dealing with loss but somehow still loving the earth. Some of us have been "blessed"; some suffer more than their share. We go from innocence to experience, then back to innocence-are we ever wise? Or do we just reach a point where we either accept or do not accept our lot? These poems explore our relationship with nature and our bewilderment at the losses we undergo. The speaker wonders what the natural world has to tell us and whether we could even understand what it might say. Even with all this struggle, the world holds such beauty. We "sing in [our] chains like the sea." There is no heaven like the song of the overcast.
