"Found poems are to their poet what no-fault insurance is to beneficiaries: payoffs waiting to happen where everyone wins and no one is blamed. Dillard culls about 40 such happy accidents from sources as diverse as a The American Boys Handy Book (1882) and the letters of Van Gogh. . . . the poet aims for a lucky, loaded symbolism that catapults the reader into an epiphany never imagined by the original authors." Publishers Weekly
In Mornings Like This, beloved author Annie Dillard has given us a witty and moving collection of poems in a wholly original form, sure to charm her fans, both old and new.
Extracting and rearranging sentences from old and odd booksFrom D.C. Beard's "The American Boys Handy Book" in 1882 to Van Gogh's letters to David Greyson's "The Countryman's Year" in 1936Dillard has composed poems on poetry's most heartfelt themes of love, nature, nostalgia, and death. A unique, clever, and original collection, Dillard's characteristic voice sounds throughout the pages.
What emerges from this literary experiment is a collection that is pure Dillarda masterclass in seeing the poetic in the everyday:
- Found Poetry Perfected: Using sentences from sources as diverse as nineteenth-century boys' manuals and Van Gogh's letters, Dillard creates something entirely new and profound.
