Choosing a Stone

Beschreibung

The poems in Choosing a Stone, Richard Hedderman’s first full-length poetry collection, masterfully explore the intersection of physical landscape and human consciousness. In sharply imagistic and muscular language, these visceral poems revel in the sensory delights that reinforce our shared humanity: praising hot black coffee, savoring a rustic Basque dinner, lazing in a hammock, or watching "the sky-map of cloud drift over the trees." He is archeologist and alchemist, quarrying an historical mythos to shape his powerful, deeply-realized vision. Hedderman’s work intrepidly—and wryly—excavates and shapes an authentic understanding of our place in this world, and the one we’ve come from.
