Inhaltsangabe

“From the deepest place in us, Anne Caston’s work could turn stone to sound. Prodigal is richly lyrical—so filled with love and legend that we say “what kind of soul does it take to write such poetry?” Maybe God speaks through Caston about humankind’s self-inflicted wounds and misplaced humanity; for here are the characters left by Faulkner’s deep south; here is the phraseology touched by Dylan Thomas’ music. Our worst and our best parts are here. I will never stop reading this book.”
—Grace Cavalieri, Producer: “The Poet and the Poem from the Library of Congress” Chair: The Marfield National Book Award for Writing In the Arts
“Explosive, Anne Caston's poems of spiritual and bodily devastation—we the living risk the “grenade of any almost / ordinary day: pin pulled.” These gritty poems of witness lead us again and again to attend the wounded and dying, until both poet and reader must consider “suffering / and God's part in it.” Love, like belief, is unreliable, painful—and ultimately all we have. These burnished poems tell harsh and necessary truths.”
—Peggy Shumaker, Former State Writer of Alaska & author of 9 books, including Toucan Nest and Just Breathe Normally
