Beskrivning

In The Sentence, Morri Creech interrogates our daily lives and experiences to examine the anxieties and despair that often attend our awareness of mortality. Through a variety of subjects, and through styles ranging from rhyme and meter to prose poetry, he takes an unflinching look at what it means to live in the shadow of the end, the common fate to which each of us is sentenced.

Recensioner i media

All poets start out as artists, a blessed few eventually become craftspeople, too. Morri Creech is a craftsperson as well as an artist, and the poems in The Sentence are uncommonly well-made things." - Shane McCrae"The Sentence is a book of reflections, refractions, raveling, and ramifications with breathtaking branchings of syntax, sonic permutations, and Frostian forks foreclosing other lives." - Dora Malech"Somehow, remarkably, this collection seems both more impersonal and more personal than Creech's earlier work, more wide-ranging in its expression of common experience yet even more deeply felt, sentence by artful sentence." - Joseph Harrison"The Sentence is Creech's best book to date, its feats of imagination his most sweeping and its reckonings his most clear-eyed." - David Yezzi
