Bøker av George Grace

A Hastening Countdown from Infinity, is the fourth poetry anthology by George Grace, compiling poems from his first (American Stonehenge) and second (Night Wanes, Dawn) books, plus many more recent poems.From having been shot in the leg with an arrow at age six, surviving the sinking of his father's boat in the swells of the mighty Niagara River, to escaping the flames and smoke of Bethlehem Steel's Coke Ovens, to beating the odds against lung cancer and Guillain Barre Syndrome, Grace has been perfectly molded by chance and self-determination to tell tales through his verse.Grace's humor takes the sting out of some of the grim realities of modern life, and mocks the absurdity of senseless conflicts. He speaks to the contradictory freedom and loneliness of the road, the prospect of settlement of other planets for waste containment; and summarizes the many thoughts racing through his mind as he falls off a twenty-five-foot ladder.

Our Litgarden Writers are Kate Willoughby, Joe Todaro, George Grace, Donna Grace, Scott Williams, Michael Delaney, Lynn Ciesielski, Sara Ries Dziekonski, and Daniel Haskin. In this second anthology, we stir up the soil and plant seeds, always trying to make sense of it all and hoping to do some good. We are curious, scared, connected, confused, courageous, and cynical, - and we write. Our poems, memoir, and fiction will join you with a beer at Heron Pond, introduce you to the regulars at the diner on Route 5, and invite you to walk the dog underneath a February snow sky as we are Tilting Toward the Moon.
