Description: The Manifesto and Its Blue Ball by Llewellyn McKernan Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Llewellyn McKernans The Manifesto and Its Blue Ball is a collection of earlier poems(that show the writer feeling and figuring in insightful ways toward a poetic maturity), aswell as more recent poems filled with what Jerome Bruner believes is the central characteristicof creativity-"effective surprise." In "The Manifesto" and the other title poem, "The Blue Ball,"we enjoy the unusual angles the poet takes on her remarkable subjects, and elsewhere we aretreated to surprise and delight not only in the deep meanings and metaphors, but in the deliciousmusic of the poets language: "Undress the mystery/of summer, savor the falls skill-killing frost, winters/grid against the sky" ("Dont Be Down-Right"). These poems are Llewellyn McKernan and we treasure them.-Richard Hague, Author of Studied Days: Poems Early & Late in AppalachiaIn Llewellyn McKernans The Manifesto and Its Blue Ball, a light, often rhymed, sometimes childlike whimsy veils a series, at times unsettling, but finally affirming view of poetry and nature. In "Heres the Situation," "dawn and noon" and "frog and loon" release their rhymes only to reveal the unique poem thats grounded in its "own/unearthly/unrehearsed howl." In "I Believe," "its always winter in the Land of Faith," but the poet takes the snow there andmakes it into a "snowman the children love." In "A Real Thing," "a bright green willow/reflected in a pond in summer/is lucid and lovely-But dont try to touch it." Yes, beauty isfragile but powerful. And so is The Manifesto and Its Blue Ball. -Richard Spilman, Author of In The Night SpeakingThis is the poetry of a fully realized artist, driven by faithfulness to her craft and devotion tothe crucial but difficult journey of dwelling in the beautifully stressed shapes of humanexperience or the treacherous and lovely terrain of the imagined places of the mind and heart-both being ultimately a passageway to the life-line of the poem itself, "The Blue Ball," pursued and celebrated in "the duo of space and time/present to our presence," "from which it borrows only what/it turns and returns" to the ready readers heart. I will keep this smart and lovely collection close always.-George Eklund, Author of The Island Blade Details ISBN 1639804838 ISBN-13 9781639804832 Title The Manifesto and Its Blue Ball Author Llewellyn McKernan Format Paperback Year 2024 Pages 84 Publisher Kelsay Books GE_Item_ID:158374626; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
