A Wild Region

Kate Buckley

4.9/5 (20116 ratings)

Description:"A ribbon of Appalachia winds through Kate Buckley’s vigorous voice in her debut collection of poems, A Wild Region. It was my pleasure to choose her as the winner of the 2008 James Hearst Poetry Prize for the North American Review, and it is an equal pleasure to welcome this book of poems, crafted from the patterns of speech of the wild region Buckley loves and the wildness of its people, too." — Molly Peacock"Kate Buckley's poems are dark prayers and lyrical ballads, infused with mystery and awe... And the stories these poems tell—finely crafted as the poems are—are stories that speak to all of us, accessible and clear for all their complicated depth, 'universal' precisely because they're so deeply personal, and so deeply felt. There is so much stunning language in this collection, so much accuracy and grace, and there are so many images that take my breath away... Kate Buckley shows us how the beautiful and the brutal can not only coexist alongside one another, but exist within one another. Hers is a necessary and welcome new voice." — Cecilia Woloch "A Wild Region is a family history in verse as well as a lovely elegy for Buckley's grandmother set in a Kentucky that is both pastoral and industrial: 'I have ridden on horseback / under the harvest moon, gold and heavy' vs. 'the coughs that stained your linens black / no matter how many times you bleached them.' Interspersed are the poet's own paintings, similarly patterened: pale impressionist shimmers plus brusque expressionist impasto. The elegies are especially moving: 'her wisy hair, fine as floss / cotton against the pale earth of her skull' and 'I cradle her, cradle her, and rock her home.' Pick up this book. (Buckley won this year's Hearst Poetry Prize.)— North American Review"Painting and poetry are two art forms that stand side by side and work well together. A Wild Region is a collection of oil paintings and poetry from prolific poet Kate Buckley, whose work has appeared in countless venues. Many of her poems are opposite full color art, adding a fresh dimension to her work. A Wild Region is a fine blend of artforms, highly recommended. 'On Hearing Your News': My eyes lie flat in my skull,/darkened, bruised//lashes whip-stitched to swollen lids—/sleep has once again been elusive.//My organs weigh more/than they did the day before,/swollen with unhappiness,/gorged with regret:/tiny fists in my stomach pummeling/ the hanging ball of my heart."— Midwest Book Review (Reviewer's Choice) "Many of the poems recall the work of poet Andrew Hudgins, both for their subject matter and use of forms... Like Hudgins, Buckley can convey the physical and emotional violence of characters without apology, presenting people as they were and laying bare their choices without too much explanation...W.H. Auden once said 'a poem is like a story . . . with all the boring parts left out.' Buckley certainly has many stories to tell, of birth and deaths, abandonment and murder. And she is a gifted storyteller... Perhaps, this is Buckley’s intent in many of her poems—to take the chaotic and random pieces and make them fit, make them record a life, like a handmade quilt. Buckley's poems are as beautiful and well-crafted."— The Adirondack Review"Kate Buckley's A Wild Region, exemplifies what is best about American poetry: honest, clear, fluid, and genuine. A Wild Region, is a strong debut collection that deserves a place on every poet's bookshelf. — Marie C. Lecrivain "This is a book of poems full of clues—clues more satisfying even than answers, since they point us toward the wilder regions of the complex human heart. Like a heady night in the rural South, these poems are sonorous, delicious, and dark—at once comforting and mysterious, wicked and sweet." — Robert Peake "True to her Kentucky roots, Kate Buckley is a born storyteller with a poet’s transforming vision of the world’s details informed by loss and exile."— Julie Kuzneski Wrinn for the Betty Gabehart PrizeWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
