Description
This book is Walt McDonald First-Book winner. Soaring across extensive terrain, from the working world of Detroit to American suburbia and pop culture, from the European landscape of World War II to the current war in Iraq, Christine Rhein opens her personal world to the world at large. In poems that explore the historical, social, and scientific as well as the poignant and humorous, Rhein relishes life's juxtapositions.
Reviews / Votes
Rhein makes a stunning debut in Wild Flight, distinguishing herself immediately with poems of grace and intelligence.... Turning her eye toward science, technology, human relationships, love and war, she never merely describes a thing, but persuades us to a point of view that is subtle and sophisticated, sympathetic, and challenging, funny and almost warm to the touch with each living moment. - MOLLY PEACOCKMore details
