Season of the Second Thought begins in a deep blue mood, longing to find words for what feels beyond saying. Lynn Powell's poems journey through the seasons, quarreling with the muse, reckoning with loss, questioning the heart and its "pedigree of Pentecost," and seeking out paintings in order to see inside the self. With their crisp observations and iridescent language, these poems accumulate the bounty of an examined life. These lines emerge from darkness into a shimmering equilibrium—witty, lush, and hard-won.

Recenzii
"Let
Powell's
images
and
figures
wash
over
you.
They
can
be
deft
and
unobtrusive,
but
they
will
stick
with
you;
they
will
illuminate
what
otherwise
might
be
dark.
A
poet
so
sure-handed
is
irresistible.
Dazzling."
—Robert
Wrigley
"Not
just
written,
but
wrought.
Powell's
new
poems
deftly
combine
keen
observation
with
perfect
pitch,
and
their
rich
chiaroscuro
renders
them
vibrant
and
painterly
as
the
Dutch
masters
they
often
reference.
The
current
running
through
her
lines
leaves
me
shivering
with
excitement
and
gratitude."
—R.
T.
Smith,
author
of
In
the
Night

Extras
I’ve
tried,
like
a
peony,
to
explain
myself
in a hundred dark petals or less.
I’ve been clear as the insatiable hands of the rain.
I’ve been Rachmaninoff and ragweed, cornflowers and castanets,
sunset swollen behind me like a red crescendo.
Yes, I’ve worn my heart up my sleeve. And Lord knows
I’ve been love’s bull’s-eye—
Saint Sebastiana of the Backslid Baptists.
