Montana poet (and bookstore owner) Marc Beaudin has netted dozens of his poems into one beautiful literary aviary. "Life List" features a bird in every poem, from the Canada goose to the passenger pigeon. The latter poem which closes the collection is especially beautiful and heartbreaking as an unwitting Ohio farm boy out for his chores in 1900 shoots dead the last passenger pigeon seen in the wild. "Life List" is all about vanishing--the lost beauty of our ever-industrialized natural world, the lost chances, the lost loves--but it's equally about appreciating what remains. In particular, our winged friends. Riffle the pages of "Life List" and you will hear the flutter of wingbeats, demanding your attention and your compassion. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Life List, by Marc Beaudin, is a collection of 74 poems that explores the poet's question, "What is the soul if not the sum on the flights of a thousand birds?" Arranged like a field guide, the book is divided into regional sections with each poem featuring a different bird selected from Beaudin's own life list (currently at 359 species). As he writes in his author's note: "For many years, crows, herons and other avian species have flown through my poetry, adding their voices and flashes of light to my vain attempts to render in language the precarious circumstances of being alive." The book includes monotypes by Montana artist Storrs Bishop, and features an introduction by J. Drew Lanham author of The Home Place: Memoirs of a Colored Man's Love Affair with Nature.
