Böcker av Rodger Moody

Carol Durak, John P Harn, and Rodger Moody, originally from Michigan and Indiana, studied poetry at the University of Oregon in the late 1970s where they were advisees of the late Ralph Salisbury. Now, forty-five years later, keeping the faith, they have gathered a selection of their diverse work into a single volume, Three Chapbooks / Three Poets. "Each of these diverse, superbly-crafted chapbooks brim with intimacy. Moody's work, written in sevenlings, offers probing, witty, and sometimes dark observations of rural America where the countryside belongs to the swallows. Durak's work, intelligent and introspective, leads us to a fabled crossroads where she contemplates, what is more diligent than dust, and asks, what is more within you / than your path beyond compass? Harn's poems, full of philosophical investigations, claim that sometimes we need to see the marrow splayed to understand our place in the universe, that we face our mortality lips parted, about to say something / to the wind. Like a jazz trio, each chapbook is a distinct instrument, unique but in sync with the others, and the beat is never lost." - Michael Spring, author of dentro do som / into the sound and Kahlo's Widow
