Inhaltsangabe

<b>Poems that&#160;acknowledge the existential anxieties of our age while continuing to&#160;celebrate&#160;the beauty and musicality of language.&#160;</b><br> &#160;<br> In&#160;<i>Would We Still Be</i>, James Henry&#160;Knippen&#160;crafts the anxieties that emanate from&#160;human&#160;existence&#8212;grief, fear, hopelessness, uncertainty&#8212;into poetic reflections that express a deep reverence for the musicality and incantational capacity of language. Like a moon or a wren, two of the book&#8217;s obsessions, these&#160;haunting&#160;poems&#160;call&#160;us to consider beauty&#8217;s connection to the transitory. Among the ghosts that wander these pages&#8212;those of loved ones, those we are,&#160;and&#160;those we&#160;will become&#8212;Knippen&#160;asks if image is enough, if sound is enough, if faith is enough. In doing so, these poems seek out the soul&#8217;s communion with voice, encouraging us to sing our fate.
