A Poetry Chapbook

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Easy is a collection of twenty-four lyric poems built in a six-line form inspired by the hexagrams of the I Ching. Worn lightly and almost invisibly, this hidden architecture gives the poems a quiet sense of order while allowing them to move with the natural ease of conversation, memory, and birdsong.Moving through spring mornings, weather, love, family, dreams, dragons, tulips, and the turning seasons, Jonathan Potter discovers the extraordinary within the ordinary. These poems honor daily rituals and small acts of attention, finding grace in coffee at dawn, walks through familiar neighborhoods, the fragrance of orchids, and the return of a bee to a rose that is no longer the same rose.Written with gratitude, humor, and philosophical depth, Easy reflects on change, aging, and the enduring power of love. The result is a collection that is both formally intricate and warmly accessible-a house of words with a hexagonal window looking out on the world.For readers of William Stafford, Gary Snyder, Wendell Berry, and anyone who believes that the ordinary, attended to closely enough, reveals the infinite, Easy offers a gentle invitation to slow down and listen for the one true song waiting in the late spring air.
