Synopsis
BIRDS AND THE TRICK OF TIME sings of the fortitude passed through generations and through living on the fringes, through loving and endings, and the pauses that fall between people. They sing, too, of the natural world and its wisdom. A few poems dare touch on the trick of time.
"These are the marvelous poems of a life lived on the edge of the wild, homestead poems among the harsh beauties of the far North. Clean language that relies on the natural image to trace out a thin narrative thread and carry the deep feeling within. A mother spinning yarn from the long wool of the sheep's belly, dyed with burdock and beet-skin. The chapped hands of working class youth; night shift at a slaughterhouse, hustling the lumber mill's green chain. I admire their spare lines and Stoic outlook, reminiscent of Gary Snyder or early John Haines." - Joseph Millar, author of Shine

Condition: Muy bueno. : Birds and the Trick of Time es una colección de poemas de Mark Anthony Burke que canta a la fortaleza transmitida a través de las generaciones y la vida en los márgenes. La obra explora temas como el amor, los finales y las pausas que surgen entre las personas, integrando la sabiduría del mundo natural y la belleza austera del lejano norte.Con un lenguaje limpio y directo que se apoya en imágenes naturales, Burke traza narrativas sobre la vida rural, el trabajo en aserraderos y la vida doméstica.
