Sun in Days Zusammenfassung

Sun in Days: Poems Meghan O'Rourke

From acclaimed poet and critic Meghan O'Rourke comes a powerful collection about the frailty of the body, the longing for a child, and the philosophical questions raised when the body goes dramatically awry. These formally ambitious poems and lyric essays give voice to the experience of illness, the permanence of loss, and invigorating moments of grace. A Paterson Poetry Prize finalist, Sun in Days is unsentimental yet deeply felt, characterized by O'Rourke's signature lyric precision and force of observation.

Sun in Days Bewertungen

Sun in Days takes up illness, motherhood and death in lyrics with an essayistic sense of exploration and self-adjustment. -- New York Times Book Review
Sun in Days reminds me that beauty and loss are inextricable-and random, in a way that's both shattering and strangely relieving. -- Atlantic
Sun in Days is a marvel, a heartbreak. -- David Baker
[A] lasting book.... The mind of the poems is so unexpectedly precise that it illuminates a signal range of human feeling with its compassionate questioning. -- Forrest Gander, Library of America
Sun in Days is a beautiful collection by one of our best poets, a book that will help us rethink both grief and illness and how we treat those who are dealing with either. At its core, though, it's also a book about the imagination's resilience and a reckoning of its limitations and its needs, needs it receives from the world. -- The Rumpus
In a confessional and plainspoken narrative mode, O'Rourke delves into memory and 'the body's failure.' -- Publishers Weekly
O'Rourke is excellent at limning the hazy sense of loss that inevitably defines our moving forward. -- Library Journal
In the world of [Sun in Days], what was longed for (but never was) is as meaningful as what happened, as true as what is, depending on the light. O'Rourke's light is gorgeous and powerful. -- Brenda Shaughnessy
