Inhaltsangabe
The Snow Watcher is a sequence of poems that asks a single obsession question: what is the self? The book is a radical re-envisioning of what makes us human rather than animal, human rather than insentient. The poems delve into parts of childhood more comfortably forgotten, and into the ancient stillness of the monastery (Twichell is a student of Zen Buddhism). In both realms the known self dissolves, or is intentionally dismantled, and what is left is something impossible to name, though its startling voice can be heard in the austere, near-empty rooms of these poems.

Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First Edition/First Printing. This copy has been SIGNED by Chase Twichell on the title page. The Snow Watcher is a sequence of poems that asks a single obsessive question: what is the self? Jim Harrison dustjacket praise "Chase Twichell's The Snow Watcher is raw, fresh, and lucidly harsh. These poems often enter a not quite familiar terrain, taking us on an admirable but not quite comfortable journey into ourselves.". Signed by Author. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1912
