Fountain Carrie - The Life - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: An exquisite book of poetry with a lens on motherhood that's existential funny and tender. Elle Acclaimed poet Carrie Fountain deepens her exploration of the domestic in a new collection of playful and wise poems The poems in Carrie Fountain's third collection The Life exist somewhere as Rilke says between our daily life and the great work an interstitial space where sidelong glances live alongside shouts to heaven. In elegant colloquial language Fountain observes her children dressing themselves in fledgling layers of personhood creating their own private worlds and personalities and makes room for genuine marvels in the midst of routine. Attuned to the delicate fleeting moments that together comprise a life these poems offer a guide by which to navigate the signs and symbols and to pilot if not the perfect life the only life the life we are given.
