Blade by Blade by Danusha Lameris Paperback Book

Description: Blade by Blade by Danusha Lameris "A collection of poems by Danusha Lamâeris"-- FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Blade by Bladeis an unflinching field journal of grief, loss, and discovery set against the California wilderness.Danusha Lameriss third book,Blade by Blade is a book of hungers: Hunger for the bright glare of poppies, for the hidden name of the beloved, for the cracked continental edge, for all we keep in "the hearts farthest chambers." Seeking a way back to joy following the deaths of her son and brother, the poet finds wonder in the furred legs of a caterpillar, in egrets, elephants, and elk, solace in the seagulls speckled egg. Here we taste a longing to kiss in the dark corner of the gym, to leap into a volcanos molten fire, to be unraveled, undone thread by thread, made one with all things. Microscopic and tidal, earthquake and fire-prone, Blade by Blade thrives in the underbrush of human emotion. These poems are luminous missives tossed on the wind asking us to re-enter the world weve forsaken, to set foot, as if for the first time, on the green earth and begin again.

Review Praise for Blade by Blade"Blade by Blade by Danusha Laméris refuses grief as isolated by either time or place, with grace and thunder. The losses of both a brother and a son, two men remembered well, lead to winding and repeated meetings of earth and self. With the observation of Richard Powers and the casual brilliance of Gwendolyn Brooks, the book angles toward each and every subject and environment equally. The calmness with which the speaker catalogs what is gone due to environmental catastrophe and suicide provides a wide lens—not with distance, but specificity. The admirable volume brings on a newstyle for Lameris, making her poems utterly recognizable."—Poetry Northwest"Danusha Laméris third collection is a book of marvel, microscopic observation, and untamed want. Out of a hungry mouth, Blade by Blade moves through the earth with joyful precision. Following the deaths of her brother and son, Laméris searches for pleasure and connection. . . . The earth and all its lush, terrifying landscapes provide the speaker sensual delight and new beginnings."—Turi Sioson, Only Poems"This elegiac outing from Laméris is a testament to indelible love, offering a maelstrom of memory that briefly resurrects those she mourns. . . . With this magnanimity of spirit, her poems demonstrate a foundation of awe, curiosity, and reverence. . . . Wielding a gift for imagery and threaded with philosophical acuity, Lamériss voice is incomparable."—Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEWPraise for Danusha Laméris"Danusha Laméris writes with definitive, savoring power in perfectly well-weighted lines and scenes."—Naomi Shihab Nye"Danusha Laméris ravishing second collection of poems, lives up to its title and then some.
