Item description from seller

Five books. Five kinds of pressure. The ordinary lives that hold more than anyone sees.Whispers Behind the Opposing Forces Collection brings together 167 poems and reflections from five books in Brian Edward McDermott's Whispers series: Paper Hearts, Weathered Acres, Walled Flowers, Shared Ground, and Holy Days.In Paper Hearts, marriage unfolds through coffee cups, overdue bills, tired hands, empty bedrooms, and the long work of choosing one another. Weathered Acres enters the lives of farm and ranch families, where weather is payroll, chores keep the calendar, and inheritance can be both a gift and a weight.Walled Flowers walks the school hallways behind the labels: the class clown, the quiet student, the athlete, the new kid, and the young person carrying a whole household into class. Shared Ground follows immigrant families through work, language, separation, and belonging, finding a life inside the folder, the recipe, the name, and the kitchen that holds two countries. Holy Days listens to people of different faiths and people without religious belief, exploring what they inherit, what others assume, what hurts, and what remains.Across kitchens, classrooms, fields, waiting rooms, and places of worship, these poems stay close to physical details and particular people. A chair moves over. A neighbor brings food. Someone learns a name instead of accepting the nickname. A hand reaches across the space an argument has left behind.Written in plainspoken verse with tenderness, grief, flashes of humor, and working-class honesty, this collection makes room for experiences that often go unspoken. It is for readers of poetry about marriage and family, rural life, exclusion, cultural identity, belief, and the stubborn effort of beginning again.This collection edition includes shared front and back matter and an illustrated opening for each of its five book sections.Begin with the life you recognize. Stay for the person you have not met yet. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 446.…
