Grief Poetry

Los poemas de este libro tienen que ver directamente con el amor, no como un pretexto sino como la materia central del poema. Son escenas interiores o exteriores, donde están presentes la ciudad, la naturaleza, el viaje, la fotografía y la pintura. El amor a veces está acompañado del erotismo, el humor, la infancia y la violencia que vive nuestro país. Por supuesto, el desamor y el duelo también tienen cabida, como la otra cara de la moneda.

Award-winning poet and spoken-word artist, Jeremy McEwen, moseys his listeners down an old gravel road to his late great-grandfather's dying apple orchard in this new collection of poetry.

McEwen spins his youthful tall-tales into seamless, well-crafted, narrative gems that are sure to soften the heart and put a giggle in the belly. His colloquial, country voice takes us back to a sacred place in time that existed not that long ago.

So I’m stepping back from the girl who thinks of myself as meek and incapable or crazy and a quitter. I need to remember all of the power it took to start all of the things I have started.
