Where One Voice Ends Another Begins by Robert Hedin
150 Years of Minnesota Poetry
Featuring seventy-six poets from across generations, this book invites readers to experience Minnesota through hundreds of diverse personal works. It explores quiet observations of daily life, the effects of political movements, and feelings of love lost and found.It is the unique gift of a poet to distil a place, a moment, a feeling in such a way that draws readers into his or her intimate world, inviting them to make it their own. In "Where One Voice Ends Another Begins", seventy-six extraordinary poets from across generations invite readers to experience Minnesota through hundreds of diverse and deeply personal works. Quiet observations of daily life, the effects of political movements, and feelings of love lost and found are explored in the poetry of such literary greats as Louise Erdrich, Barton Sutter, Mary Carr, G. E. Patterson, and Ray Gonzalez. The nurturing song-lyrics of the early Dakota and Ojibwe offer uncommonly personal glimpses into Minnesota's past. Works by a remarkable generation of poets who emerged in the '60s - John Berryman, Robert Bly, James Wright, and many others - showcase an astonishing literary vitality in a place far removed from the poetry hot spots of the coasts. "Poetry is what it is because an extraordinary genius paused at that point in history and touched it," wrote F. Scott Fitzgerald. The poets in this collection share this amazing gift and together present a moving portrait that is Minnesota - its people, landscape, and culture. |
