Inhaltsangabe

Giving Ground pulses with traffic and teems with life, leading us through tangled streets, intertwined lives. We find a place of overgrown gardens, alleys in bloom, pheasants in flight, rabbits, stray cats, and Spanish love songs, a place where the ordinary appears in an extraordinary light. With deft narrative strokes, Giving Ground reveals a place and its people, lives balanced on the shifting ground of language and culture. Like the place, Lynn Knapp’s poems are wry, real, and poignant.

"Knapp displays gentle humor and the heartfelt urge to understand, to cross the border of difference ..."

~ Linda Andrews, Author of Escape of the Bird Women

"Accessible and engaging, these poems make us feel as if we are standing on the porch looking out into the small town …"

~ Kelli Russell Agodon, Author of Hourglass Museum & The Daily Poet

"Combining deft portraits of both past and current inhabitants with lyrical nature poems, Knapp reflects the demographic shifts that define American history."

~ Carolyn Martin, Author, The Way a Woman Knows
