The World Is Round, Nikky Finney's third volume of poetry, collects the wisps of memory we carry with us throughout our earthly lives and weaves them into deft and nuanced poems that emphasize understanding the cycles of life. The settings offer a view into the kaleidoscope of human experience: the sweetness and shock of family life, the omnipresent wash of memory, and the ebullience of warm Southern air. The World Is Round carries with it an implicit challenge--to the author as a poet, and to the reader as a fellow human--to see the characters and details and events of our lives with clarity, fearlessness, and love. The result is poems that range the gamut of human reach and resilience, fury and frailty. The poet's vision of community requires understanding and tolerance from every breathing soul. Finney illuminates the cruelties of the sometimes gawking, narrow-minded world and makes a plea for compassion inspired by our common humanity. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

'We are speaking the same language now/a dialect of water and salt. / I am frozen on his wavy channel / the seawater in me swelling.' from 'The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau' Finney deftly pulls together history that has been handed down at home (what's often been omitted from 'exceptional' history books) with pop culture, mistrust and imagination. For this ability to pull the reader into the complex amalgamation of fragments created by violence and prejudice, but also love, tradition and family - this is a collection that needs to be read widely and shared often.
