The Three O'Clock Bird

Beschreibung

Poetry. Anne Frydman has the soul and sensibility of a Japanese poet, her poems small, shining moments where an intimate dramatic situation is coupled with piercing insight. Frydman writes with disarming simplicity and directness about human mortality, her own included, her unflinching honesty made bearable by her desire to live every moment to the fullest. In Evening on Naskeag Point, the book's central preoccupation is in the unforgettable line, 'Not here long, not here again.' THE THREE O'CLOCK BIRD is a moving human record of a remarkable spirit.
