Bøker av Brendan Constantine

Slow Lightning: Impractical Poetry peeks into the lives and dreams of well known novelists, memoirists, poets and playwrights. "More than editor, Peggy Dobreer (prize winning poet, former dancer, Somatic practitioner and teaching artist) has served as expert midwife to this collection of poems that emerged from her daily guided meditations and integrated writing prompts. Slow Lightning: Imprtactical Poetry is the result, born at the height of the pandemic and culled from hundreds of these poems, crafted in this setting with unflinching candor, innovative storytelling and mastery. A profoundly satisfying array of poetry to be deeply savored." -- Stephen Reigns, author of A Quilt for David. CONTRIBUTORS INCLUDE: Dakota Raine Baynham - Maria Berry - Maggie Bloomfield - E.J.

"Brendan Constantine is a poet's poet. He sees life through a unique prism: at once lucid, elegant, and deeply humanistic." -- Julia Cameron, The Artist's WayHeartbreaking and hilarious poems reaffirming our youngest conclusions about the world. Known for his dreamy abstraction and the emotional ferocity on the page and on the stage, this is a birthday card from the phenomenal world to our wildest selves. No approach to writing (odes, codes, lectures, letters, tests and attendance sheets) is left unexploited as a means to poetry. This is his second collection.
