watching for life: Volume 71 (Hugh MacLennan Poetry Series, 71) - Softcover
Book 71 of 86: Hugh MacLennan Poetry
Synopsis
we climb down the manhole / where history waits, and we can read / its layers or at least imagine them
From a balcony overlooking an urban back lane, a poet watches those walking below – their identities unknown and yet grasped through real and imagined evidence of foibles and personal inclinations, details of habit that reflect the strangers’ inner selves, humanity in all its weaknesses, illnesses, and propensities.
In watching for life David Zieroth ponders questions about how to live and how to continue. The poems reach out in imagining the lives of others, and the poet himself is watched in turn. Zieroth conjures the history of his environment and the people who pass through it, reminding us of “the place we occupy / unfinished within ourselves” and our hunger to locate ourselves in the strangers we encounter.
Intimate and observant, watching for life features poetic reflections on men, women, children, crows and gulls, pigeons, rain and snow, patched pavement, delivery trucks, night, and time.

Condition: As New. : Desde un balcón con vistas a un callejón urbano, un poeta observa a los que caminan abajo, sus identidades desconocidas y, sin embargo, captadas a través de detalles de hábitos que reflejan el ser interior de los extraños. En 'Watching for Life', David Zieroth reflexiona sobre cómo vivir y cómo continuar. Los poemas se extienden imaginando la vida de los demás, y el propio poeta es observado a su vez. Zieroth evoca la historia de su entorno y de las personas que lo atraviesan, recordándonos el lugar que ocupamos, inacabado dentro de nosotros mismos y nuestro anhelo de situarnos en los extraños que encontramos. Íntimo y observador, 'Watching for Life' presenta reflexiones poéticas sobre hombres, mujeres, niños, cuervos y gaviotas, palomas, lluvia y nieve, pavimento parcheado, camiones de reparto, la noche y el tiempo.
