Produktbeschreibung

SEASON UNLEASHED, a new collection of poems by Anna Odessa Linzer, an American Book Award-winning novelist, evokes the dramatic yet subtle wonder of the Salish Sea. SEASON UNLEASHED, a new collection of poems by American Book Award-winning novelist and poet Anna Odessa Linzer, evokes the dramatic yet subtle beauty of the Salish Sea bioregion in intimate detail based on the author's long acquaintance, close attention, and deep reflection. As seasons unfold, light and shadow shimmer, revealed in fine details of place, bringing cedar, salal, tansy, and ghost berry to life in lyrical poems and prose passages. With a keen awareness born of the familiarity of paths and beaches she walks daily, the poet turns her attentive gaze equally to shell, bone, feather, river, and mountain. Memories surface, linking past and present as the poet's Norwegian-Lenape heritage and her life on the Suquamish Port Madison Indian Reservation intertwine. A long-distance, cold-water swimmer, Anna Linzer glides through the seasons in the cool blue-green waters she calls home, inviting us to join her in her powerful, deep immersion. Praise for Anna Linzer's Ghost Dancing: "Linzer delivers it straight up . . . Her prose is spare and seductive, drawing us into understanding."--Seattle Times Post-Intelligencer Poetry. Nature.
