Beskrivning
Incisively capturing the oddities of our logic and the whimsies of our reason, the poems in Whereas show there is always another side to a story. With graceful rhythm and equal parts humour and seriousness, Stephen Dunn considers the superstition and sophistry embedded in everyday life: household objects that seem to turn against us, the search for meaning in the barrage of daily news, the surprising confessions between neighbours across a row of hedges. Finding beauty in the ordinary, this collection affirms the absurdity of making affirmations, allowing room for more rethinking, reflection, revision, prayer and magic in the world.

Recensioner i media
"Everyday experiences become a springboard for deeper reflection about what it means to be alive and how people alter their perceptions of the world and themselves over time... The best writing here reveals a deep understanding of human longing and the desire to become more than what we are."
