“One of the most imaginatively inventive poets in the country.” — Pacific Rim Review of Books The accidents of Priest’s collection are definitely not all “happy.” They move through a full range of human emotions: dread, grief, anger, ecstasy, lust and empathy. Plus some magic levity. This is poetry you will want to recite aloud: lyrical love poems, sonnets, satires, ghazals, curses, and bitter invective. These are not snobby poems — they want and welcome readers who love euphony, who enjoy tasteful eroticism, who rage at injustice. People who grieve and gush — smart people who think critically and form their own opinions. And for those with a taste for “brevity forever.” Accidents After Happening also contains a whole new catalog of Priest’s aphorisms, proverbs, maxims, and sayings — the kind of work that recently prompted Canadian literary icon Margaret Atwood to take to Twitter and praise Priest’s “snappy funny spot-on micro poems — plus much more.” Celebrated as “the people's poet,” Priest’s words have been debated in the Ontario legislature, posted in the Transit system, quoted in the Farmer's Almanac, embedded in cement, sung on Sesame Street, and turned into two hit songs: “Song Instead of a Kiss,” a number one hit for Alannah Myles, and the recent top ten hit by Indigenous balladeer Julian Taylor “Seeds (They Tried to Bury Us).”Zum Buch
Disappointment, hope, struggle, love, failure and resilience are every day themes that occupy our thoughts and constitute our inner monologue. In this book, the writer takes you on a journey of self-reflection. It invites each of us to pause and reflect on the beauty, simplicity and complexity of life. To reconnect with ourselves and nature. And to rediscover ties and pure feelings with our families, friends, and the world around us... "The water gliding forming ripples on the lake. Above the cloud, blue skies, pure air... You are you... time to get happy, smile and laugh again. "... And " silence, alone with my thoughts again, inviting and familiar, like communing with an old friend... "Zum Buch
In 2022, James McDermott lost his sixty-year-old father to COVID after three weeks in intensive care. In* Father Myself*, his second collection from Nine Arches Press, McDermott explores his father's complex illness and death; grief; growth and how as a queer boy then a bereaved son, he had to learn to father himself. In clear-sighted and often hard-hitting poems, McDermott takes the reader onto the frontline of the pandemic – documenting the experience and trauma of a COVID-bereaved family with an unflinching eye. Both powerful and compassionate, these extraordinary poems have the capacity to go beyond simply a record of events, reaching sensitively for the human details that matter – the beat of a heart and movement of breath, the touch of a hand, the words we use for goodbye.Zum Buch
