Thresh & Hold
poems by Veronica Patterson Winner of the 2009 Gell Prize for Poetry ISBN 978-0-9819018-3-1 From the introduction by poet Lola Haskins, who selected the book for the prize: “What I like about Thresh & Hold is how naturally it makes its moves. As the story opens, the dreaming speaker is drawn into an alley strewn with flowers and fruit, which ... creates a sense of the forthcoming abundance ...” “From this beginning, the poet journeys outward to her mother as a thousand-faced cup, to her father as a red-haired boy, to the samovar of a great-aunt, who ‘died of having lived.’” “I can only congratulate the poet on a fine, heartfelt, delicate work.” |
