The seed thieves

poems

Edición de la obra The Seed Thieves

"In dramatic lyrics and narratives, The Seed Thieves investigates both the mundane and the extramundane. In varying styles and voices, the poems cover a wide spectrum of imagery, including: a man startled to prayer by fireflies, a teenage girl falling from a highway overpass, a drunk circling his lawn in a tractor, children scavenging through the treasures of a shattered pinata. Grappling with death, love, God, and existence in a world where "even lifting our hands to pray / we disturb the air," these poems turn toward death and ruin in search of real light and redemption."--Publisher's website.
