Description:Lessons in Lessening is a collection of poems artfully detailing the intricacies of the lessening of spirit and sense of self that can be inflicted by experiences such as loss, grief, and betrayal, or even by oneself. Pensive and perceptive, the author deftly paints an intricate and unmistakable feeling of hollowness and smallness. Seemingly random rhymes and meters, as well as powerful, simple, and often paradoxical phrasing immerse the reader in the nuances of "shattering" and "shrinking," of "fracturing" and "fading." Yet, with the well-timed incorporation of clever and often emotionally touching allusions, the reader is not left in complete despair. Hughes’ masterful use of metaphor creates profound imagery that is sure to leave readers breathless. Lines such as, “I pour my soul into puddles and watch the world dance atop it, and it feels like disappearing, like hearing your final breath before you ever take it,” impact and allow readers to connect with the emotional content of the pieces on a scale that is both grand and small, both echoing and intimate. Like listening to your favorite sad songs on repeat after a breakup, you somehow feel satisfied at allowing yourself to thoroughly examine and even embrace the "lessons in lessening."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
