  Zoom Rooms (eBook, ePUB)

  The timeless and timely intersect in poems about our unique historical moment, from the prizewinning poet. In Zoom Rooms, Mary Jo Salter considers the strangeness of our recent existence, together with the enduring constants in our lives. The title poem, a series of sonnet-sized Zoom meetings-a classroom, a memorial service, an encounter with a new baby in the family-finds humor and pathos in our age of social distancing and technology-induced proximity. Salter shows too how imagination collapses time and space: in "Island Diaries," the pragmatist Robinson Crusoe meets on the beach a shipwrecked dreamer from an earlier century, Shakespeare's Prospero. Poems that meditate on objects-a silk blouse, a hot water bottle-address the human need to heal and console. Our paradoxically solitary but communal experiences find expression, too, in poems about art, from a Walker Evans photograph to a gilded Giotto altarpiece. In these beautiful new poems, Salter directs us to moments we may otherwise miss, reminding us that alertness is itself a form of gratitude.

  Glimpses , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 628min

  Akin to Thomas Hardy stories of the Dorset countryside - timely to his place and ours - Thomas Morgan's Indiana stories synchronize a sense of country place apposite and applicable to our time.... "Tom Morgan displays venerable literary skills; attentiveness to detail, alertness to context, and a hunger for larger meaning." "The literary equivalent of preternatural bat-like sonar that senses how to address readers in a voice possessing both immediacy and retrospective wisdom.""Astonishingly well-read, he structures his reminiscences and meditations as a series of vignettes that add up to taut scenes from a Midwesterner's life in the mid-20th and early 21st centuries - some occurring in Europe, Mexico, and California."  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Thomas G. Morgan. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/124827/bk_acx0_124827_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
