Product Description
One of America’s major contemporary poets, Pattiann Rogers is known for her penetrating perception, striking imagery, and intricate sense of the often elusive connections between humankind and their world. For Firekeeper, Rogers has assembled her best work, deleting some poems from the original edition and adding others. Here are such resonant older poems as "Suppose Your Father Was a Redbird" and "Rolling Naked in the Morning Dew," along with such masterful new poems as "The Dream of the Marsh Wren: Reciprocal Creation," "Born of a Rib," and "Generations." ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Breathes life into each pore of my being
I can't beieve this book is not reviewed more than it is. I am a lover of poetry and of all my books, this is number 1. I come back to it again and again. The beauty and depth and complexity are beyond any contemporary American poet I know of. She captures eros like no one else I know and allows me to actually experience it as i read her words--not just know it as an abstract concept. I am so grateful to Ms. Rogers for her work. I tell as many people as i can about it, and hope the word spreads.

5-0 out of 5 stars An anthology of free- verse poetry dwelling upon reflective human insights and the workings of the mind
Now in a revised and expanded edition featuring contemporary woman poet Pattiann Rogers' own selection from her work, including poems from her five published books since the first edition of "Firekeeper" was released in 1994, Firekeeper: Selected Poems is an anthology of free- verse poetry dwelling upon reflective human insights and the workings of the mind while observing day to day life in both civilization and the wild. The poems are brief yet paint a rich and contemplative canvas awash with imagery of the natural world. Second Witness: The only function of the red-cupped fruit / Hanging from the red stem of the sassafras / Is to reveal the same shiny blue orb of berry / Existing in me. // The only purpose of the row of hemlocks blowing / On the rocky ridge is to give form to the crossed lines / and clicking twigs, the needle- leaf matrix / Of evergreen motion I have always possessed....

Product Description

The Grand Array is a stunning collection of 18 essays by widely published and highly acclaimed poet Pattiann Rogers. Written over a span of 25 years, these essays show Rogers daringly yet delicately laying out her vision of the essential unity and interdependence of science, spirituality, the arts, and the sensual experience of the physical world. Composed in an anecdotal and lyrical — but never dogmatic — style, The Grand Array takes us on a journey that both celebrates human existence and questions many of our basic concepts about nature, god, and the importance of faith. Regard for the awe-inspiring but sometimes raw mysteries of nature underlies Roger’s writing. At its heart, her message is celebratory und unifying — and as such it’s particularly relevant in today’s fractured world. Rogers calls on us to understand and move beyond the limitations of our knowledge in order to embrace the vastness of the cosmos and the place of humans in its "grand array."

Editorial Review

Product Description
Pattiann Rogers, one of America-s finest contemporary poets, has won a reputation for densely detailed, thickly textured poems describing the natural world and one-s place in it that are informed by a broad knowledge of science. In the tradition of Emerson, Whitman, and A. R. Ammons, Rogers-s wise and complex poems read like a series of witty but deeply felt explorations of the physical world and the presence of the divine, exuding much observational care and descriptive panache. Her new collection, Generations, consists of fifty-four poems that concern themselves not just with the notion of the generations of life, but -generations- in the sense of energy, change, replication, and continuity-the entire process of coming or bringing into being. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars A Generational Sheaf
Sometimes I wonder why poetry has attracted so many people who should really be writing prose instead.A poem like "Aspiring, Now and Then" would be perfectly fine if written without line breaks: "I've climbed similar staircases/ before, ascending windowless/ cathedral towers up to high-wind/ belfries where birds swoop and circle,/ up to walkways to sudden sun/ shining on red-tiled rooftops."That's all very well, but why try to make it into a poem?Well for one thing it allows you to make drama out of an ordinary set of steps.(To say, "I've climbed similar staircases before," as though she lived in a medieval village and had done this dozens of times before, is in itself a masterpiece of concise condescension.)

People compare her to Wallace Stevens, to which I say, they haven't really read Wallace Stevens then.

There are some good poems here, such as the poem about the "Stray Cat, Black And White" which will appeal to nature lovers among us, and lovers of cute little pets, of which I plead guilty, but this is not the stuff of which reputations are made, and seeing the amazing acclaim on the back of this book for Ms. Rogers it makes me despair of poetry overkill.

5-0 out of 5 stars Pattiann, nothing short of astonishing
I've read only the sample poem so far--but I've read many of Rogers' works. As a poet, I even read her poems--just spotting through them--as I write: her words are so highly charged, we almost gasp with joy reading. She's one of the greats, and she doesn't leave out the spiritual element. (Paul Twitchell's The Flute of God would be a fine companion book for this one--for a good divine love overview/inspiration.) ... Read more

Product Description
A lively new collection from one of America's most celebrated contemporary poets

Denise Levertov has called acclaimed poet Pattiann Rogers "a visionary of reality, perceiving the material world with such intensity of response that impulse, intention, meaning, interconnections beyond the skin of appearance are revealed." In her new collection, Rogers takes the reader on an exploration of human endeavor. Full of color and action, wonder and fear, these poems investigate, reflect upon, and create experiences relative to music, art, and theater, as well as to the universe and its creatures, large and small. They are distinguished by the penetrating vision and avid imagination that have made Rogers one of today's most outstanding poets. ... Read more

Product Description
Pattiann Rogers has developed a large and diverse following for poems that describe the natural world and one's place in it. In Eating Bread and Honey, she celebrates this connection in her most sensual, lucid verse to date: a hymn to the human ability to feel through both emotional and physical senses.Amazon.com Review
Earthy Pattiann Rogers again has blessed poetry readers withher seventh collection, Eating Bread and Honey. Rogers's poemsare a sensual treat, yet are all the better for you because they're"all natural." As a devoted, respectful participant in thenatural world, she speaks of its intricacies so intimately that yousee each small detail as panoramic landscape: the orange that houses agod, the human eye that "has no will of its own" but movesand grows in its awe of living creatures, the proper study of lovethat can occur only with nature as a backdrop and bower. Her poemsbring you back to what is real and alive. ... Read more

Sometimes you need to get away from asphalt and smog and takea walk in the woods. Rogers has long been a favorite poet of minebecause she not only facilitates an escape into nature, she authorizesit. In this collection of her newer and her best poetry, wemetaphorically move throughout the places that nature has prepared forus as one of its own offspring. Take a walk on Rogers's path; it'sjust a little wild--and exceptionally peace-giving. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Humes does it again
Once again, Humes has mastered the ability to "show" us the moments he's captured in this read. The simplicity of his seasoned writing is as delightful as a light sigh of relief.

5-0 out of 5 stars A poetry of symbol, myth, and physical experience.
In Butterfly Effect, experienced poet Harry Humes draws on the landscape of his native mountains, moving fluidly between the world of physical experience and the world of symbol and myth. Gladiola Man: Each spring he'd plant acres of them,/and not one for sale,/every day weeding, loosening thesoil,/fluttering over the spears,/then the big blossoms./He'd kneel, almostinvisible/in the rows where we knew/he was talking to them,/sobbing whenwind snapped a stem./Each October he'd cut them back./carry the sheaves tothe fields' edges,/then dig up the bulbs,/gently life them out,/lay themside by side,/as if he were Leakey at Olduvai Gorge,/standing alone atevening,/fitting together dry silence.

5-0 out of 5 stars A touching, unpretentious collection.
So many poets recently want to make huge declarations about life and art that they sound more like preacher-philosophers than skilled practitioners of the language of poetry. So it was refreshing to come across this gem--asubtle, quiet (yet not so quiet) celebration of the images and epiphaniesthat touch and affect our lives. A small book (in length) but one withastounding beauty and depth. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Wonder and Awe
Song of the World Becoming is a treasure trove of wonder and awe. Rogers's poems are complex, musical, spiritual yet down-to-earth with telling detail of the abounding physical world. Her poems achieve their beauty with suprising twists of language and thought. The title poem alone is worth the price of admission.

5-0 out of 5 stars An Outstanding Collection
Rogers is clearly amongst the very finest contemporary American poets.A superb, beautifully written collection containing such poetic gems as "The Hummingbird: A Seduction".A treasured book in my poetry library by a gifted, important writer.

Book Magazine, July/August 2001: "Rogers offers a deeply satisfying, sometimes shocking reading experience, yielding a wonderful mixture that echoes Annie Dillard, Mary Oliver, D.H. Lawrence and Walt Whitman. Yet Rogers' is a distinctive, fresh voice.She deserves a wider readership, and we are in debt to her publisher for this fine book." ... Read more
