Native Species
Autor Todd Davisen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2018
In
his
sixth
book
of
poetry,
Todd
Davis,
whoHarvard
Reviewdeclares
is
“unflinchingly
candid
and
enduringly
compassionate,”
confesses
that
“it’s
hard
to
hide
my
love
for
the
pleasures
of
the
earth.”
In
poems
both
achingly
real
and
stunningly
new,
he
ushers
the
reader
into
a
consideration
of
the
green
world
and
our
uncertain
place
in
it.
As
he
writes
in
“Dead
Letter
to
James
Wright,”
“You
said
/
you’d
wasted
your
life.
/
I’m
still
not
sure
/
what
species
I
am.”
To
that
end,Native
Speciesexplores
what
happens
to
us—to
all
of
us,
bear,
deer,
mink,
trout,
moose,
girl,
boy,
woman,
man—when
we
die,
and
what
happens
to
the
soul
as
it
faces
extinction—if
it
“migrates
into
the
lives
of
other
creatures,
becomes
a
fox
or
frog,
an
ant
in
a
colony
serving
a
queen,
a
red
salamander
entering
a
pond
before
it
freezes.”
He
wonders,
too,
“How
many
new
beginnings
are
we
granted?”
It’s
a
beautiful
question,
and
it
freights,
simultaneously,
possibility
and
pain.
These
are
the
verses
of
a
poet
maturing
into
a
new
level
of
thinking,
full
of
tenderness
and
love
for
the
home
that
carries
us
all.

Recenzii
“Todd
Davis’s
beautiful
new
book
looks
with
patience,
ardor,
and
often
heartbreak
at
is
beloved
landscapes—both
literal
and
figurative—and
the
ways
those
landscapes
change,
always
change.
Whether
it’s
the
land
being
ruined,
the
aging
or
dying
of
family
and
friends,
or
his
own
body
turning
and
turning
toward
what
it
does,
Davis
holds
his
gaze
steadily
upon
it
all,
gently
upon
it
all,
which
makes
for
some
mourning
but
also
plenty
of
magic.
A
good
deal
of
sorrow
but
even
more
wonder.
Even
more
wonder.
Look
closely,
this
book
reminds
me.
Look
closer
still.”
