With vivid imagery and endless compassion for her subjects, Tanya Standish McIntyre's words breathe life. Her richly lyrical phrases capture both the fear and the beauty of growing up in a rural working-class community, anchored by the magical bond between a young girl and her grandfather.
Way's Mills, Quebec, is the setting for these poems, although as with Mark Twain's Mississippi, physical place becomes a place in the heart in this elegy for lost ancestral farms. Standish McIntyre gives voice to the unspoken, shining a light into the dark corners of our collective memory to reveal an indelible past that gleams with clarity, empathy, and humanity. Taking seed in the dilapidated barns and warm sunlit rooms of Standish McIntyre's personal history, these poems weave a filigree of well-worn remembrances and time-honoured treaties of the self, half forgotten yet ever lingering.
Lucid, sharp, and crisp as spring water, this collection holds a sweeping narrative power that will stay with you long after the last line.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Withgorgeous imagery and endless compassion for her subjects, Tanya Standish
McIntyre captures both the fear and the beauty of growing up in a rural
working-class community." Carolyn Rowell, TILT Writer's Cooperative "Barns and sheds, old chesterfields, pond ice, damselflies, graveyards and ghosts - rarely
have these words been so evocative, so glorious. From Quebec's Eastern
Townships comes an arresting new voice." Shelley Pomerance, arts journalist "Lucid, sharp, and crisp as spring water, calling to mind Dillard in an arching
narrative." David Gow, award-winning Canadian playwright "Tanya Standish McIntyre is 'a keeper of things forgotten.' A haunting debut
collection." Louise Abbott, author of The Heart of the Farm "Explorations of family and consciousness carve a sure path through the tangled thickets of the past in The House You Were Born In, allowing Quebec's Eastern Townships to emerge not just as backdrop but as character. Each trenchant, graceful poem illuminates a time and a place, as though a light shone from behind memory." Mark Abley, author of The Tongues of Earth

Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist.
Mit Adobe-DRM wird hier ein „harter” Kopierschutz verwendet. Wenn die notwendigen Voraussetzungen nicht vorliegen, können Sie das E-Book leider nicht öffnen. Daher müssen Sie bereits vor dem Download Ihre Lese-Hardware vorbereiten.
Bitte beachten Sie: Wir empfehlen Ihnen unbedingt nach Installation der Lese-Software diese mit Ihrer persönlichen Adobe-ID zu autorisieren!
