Not Hemingway; way too short like bird songs
performed for a fish.
Not Gabriel Garcia Marquez; too fanciful,
too much Cuban cigar.
An American in self-exile, writing from his backyard view, considers if atonement is possible, if optimism is realistic. Following years of performing poems, The View form the Ant Hill reflects for his first time in book form, upon the hope that accompanies sharing writing.
Yazar hakkında
Quoting Atul Gawande in his Being Mortal, ‘In the end, people don’t view life as merely the average of all of its moments – which, after all, is mostly nothing much plus some sleep. A story has a sense of a whole, and its arc is determined by the significant moments, the ones where something happens. And in stories, endings matter.’
Significant recent publishing moments prior to The View from the Ant Hill in Gordon Roberts’ writer’s arc are exasperatingly few: four ekphrastic contributions in a poem collection from Aarhus, Denmark, Respons, and four poems in Adelaide Magazine, NYC.
Since the eighties, Gordon has edited books for academic Danes writing in English, performed poetry in bars, libraries and art museums, written scripts for political street theater. Gordon has been living in Denmark for over forty years.
