Bøker av June E. Lobdell-Skjervold

These poems by an undiscovered Minnesota author, celebrate nature, music, love and loss, plus a lovely short story, all conjuring a snapshot of the mid-twentieth century. June Skjervold's dedication to "everyday poets" offers the best insight to understanding her work. The poems demonstrate that which appears in our daily lives as mundane is actually wrapped in the supernatural and natural worlds with their beauty available to all the everyday poets. June says that her inspiration was based on observations of the world around her and she "just wrote it down". June is perhaps too modest in that summary considering the care and depth of expression that went into producing prosody of such structure and stylistic variety. The poems illustrate that the everyday world we live in is rounded with magic that resonates with the poet in us all.
