Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The word, still, like life itself, is pregnant with possibility. On one end of the spectrum, it is the ultimate stillness of death; on the other, it is generational: still, life continues. The word still became for the author a synonym for the journey, with all of us riding in separate boats while traveling through the same body of water. In these poems we can acknowledge hard truths, the struggle that comes with change, knowing we are not alone. We can find solace and joy in nature, see how art and music can move us beyond ourselves, and be comforted by how we are all inextricably entwined. Along with disappointments, loss, and the unexpected, there is still love and abundance, choice, and room for praise.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. With consummate skill, subtle and exacting artistry, and fierce passion, Tania Runyan's first collection, Simple Weight, brilliantly unveils the mysterious ties tethering heaven to earth and] explores the painful and troubling journeys of a soul in search of the divine. Hers is a voice brimming with a palpable humanity and beautiful pathos--complex, wise, mutable, and wholly original. --Maurya Simon, author of The Raindrop's Gospel __________ Spiritual without being in the least bit preachy, Runyan deals in matters of the heart, letting us experience the ineffable through a variety of subjects, often commonplace objects: a dead goldfish, a broken dishwasher, dust mites. Runyan uses deeply infused language throughout: I chew the name God, God like habitual / gum. God, the holy / singularity. God who buries // his miracles in the soil. These] poems have weight--emotional, spiritual, political--but are anything but simple. --Barbara Crooker, author of Radiance, Line Dance, and More __________ Tania Runyan claims she does not concern herself with things too marvelous for her. Well, she's lying. Simple Weight ponders and illuminates cicadas emerging from the earth and martyrs merging their bones with dust. In Runyan's world--which is our world--the human intrudes upon the holy, making it more holy still. These poems, like the Psalms themselves, will fall through the years like a muscle of water. Drink deeply. --Paul Willis, author of Rosing From the Dead: Poems.…

Soft cover. Condition: Like New. Signed & Inscribed & Dated By Author. Signed & Inscribed & Dated By.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. SIGNED by poet with "best wishes" on title page. This kaleidoscopic collection of fourteen-line poems is an attempt at mitigating the modern self-erasure of poetry. In spite of the form, which is one of the most ancient in existence, the originality or consistent weirdness finds expression in sheer style and content. Many of the poems connect to archaeology and the ancient past, possibly as they have never been seen before. Look for the surprise, the double take, the mild smirk, even the kiss. Look for the unusual use of conventional form. 71 pp. with a poem on each page. Book.…
