About this product
Product Information
Poems stunned by the world and their presence in it Inspired by a voracious curiosity about humans and other subjects, the poems in Heather Christle's What Is Amazing describe and invent worlds in an attempt to understand through participation. The book draws upon the wisdom of foolishness and the logic of glee, while simultaneously exploring the suffering inherent to embodied consciousness. Speakers play out moments of bravado and fear, love and mortality, disappointment and desire. They socialize incorrigibly with lakes, lovers, fire, and readers, reasoning their way to unreasonable conclusions. These poems try to understand how it is that we come to recognize and differentiate objects and beings, how wholly each is attached to its name, and which space reveals them. What Is Amazing delights in fully inhabiting its varied forms and voices, singing worlds that often coincide with our own.

"Christle's third collection can be offhandedly dark and spikily funny ("Was that a gunshot or / was it a look of temerity"). Swans are murderers, some husbands so small one must lie down to chat. Then come the epiphanies.", "(T)he poems in What is Amazing radiate with boundless joy and celebration, rich in an enthusiasm that so much other poetry lacks. ÉThese poems are wonderfully fresh, and the sytax startles in such strange ways, electrifying subtle musing against the absolutely fantastic and banal. Her poems know full well how to live in the moment, and capture the same." ÑRob McLennan, (T)he poems in What is Amazing radiate with boundless joy and celebration, rich in an enthusiasm that so much other poetry lacks. ...These poems are wonderfully fresh, and the sytax startles in such strange ways, electrifying subtle musing against the absolutely fantastic and banal.

Christle presents us with a glimpse into the tiny husbandry of the world we pass over, incrementally, from day to day. The poems in this collections make their way, as the reader does, through a series of intuitive leaps, led by a ferocious desire to view their surroundings as if for the first time."--Chris Emslie, The Edinborough Review "A book that will awaken you to wonders all around you--including the listening ears of flowers, the secret messages of trees and the 'taste of saltwater and baseball.'"--Deborah Landau, Oprah.com "Books that will Boost Your Mood Instantly" "Christle writes from an intelligent, fierce, vulnerable place where she searches for whatever truths--and here I mean fictional truths as much as factual truths--it can find. This search, which is divided into three parts, ranges through the chaos of loss to the relative comforts of encroaching order. The progression of the subject matter is mirrored in the way in which Christle uses--or abandons--form and punctuationAnyone who is interested in contemporary American poetry should read this book and be stunned by the various places that it is possible to visit and return from; wounded, deeper, unscathed and enriched.", ,"--Alyson Hallett, Poetry Salzburg Review "(T)he poems in What is Amazing radiate with boundless joy and celebration, rich in an enthusiasm that so much other poetry lacks.

These sly, nimble notations of consciousness feel like pages from a secret notebook, but they're oddly bold and forthright, too. Christle is a kind of psychic seismograph, recording the major and minor tremors that ripple through her awareness, and her poems are wide awake."--Mark Doty "What Is Amazing instills a sense of discovery that recalls a child lifting a stone in their garden to uncover a colony of ants.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
