Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
ReviewHamblin's poems, like his grandfather's clock, unwind in remarkable words....Speaking seminally of love, of truth, they march continuously toward that inevitable newness of old ground: the renewed intelligence of love. Don Welch, former Reynolds Professor of Literature, University of NebraskaHamblin writes both as a solitary person, and also as a son, a husband, a father, and a grandfather, and thus gives us a complete portrait of a male sensibility from youth to maturity. Grief and loss are constant themes, but he manages to transcend them through the gains of imagination....No one will remain unmoved and unchanged by these remarkable poems. Jay Martin, author of Winter Dreams, Who Am I This Time?, and All Is Merry and Bright: The Life of Henry MillerProduct DescriptionThis book traces one Southerner's journey from rural Mississippi, with memories of his sharecropper grandparents and his father's country store, to his life as a professor, devoted family man, world traveler, and, ultimately, poet of the gentle events of everyday life.About the AuthorRobert Hamblin was born in Jericho, Mississippi, in 1938.
