On Horsebarn Hill
商品資訊
商品簡介
-Gene Twaronite, Poet and Author of The Museum of Unwearable Shoes and The Family That Wasn't: A Fable
On Horsebarn Hill is an intimate collection by Janet McMillan Rives where you will be spirited away to a "bright, luminous world" of a girl born in the "dead of winter 1944." In each poem, like a strike of a match, a warm, poignant memory blazes forth of a Formica kitchen table with angel food cake, full lunch pails, a mystical stone wall, a visit to the dairy cows and the family that lived there-both "cobalt" and "steel." You'll experience the pleasure of silence and laughter, the strength of accepting change, the lesson to "keep searching."
-Polly Alice McCann, Managing Editor, Flying Ketchup Press
In "This is the Day," Rives writes: "a vivid yellow chariot...spirited me to this bright, luminous world." The speaker welcomes readers to Horsebarn Hill, painting the scene in colors of place and childhood-"Prussian Blue/our New England sky/Indian Red, Umber, Carmine/leaves clinging to October maples"-a world in which one can easily see "what happy meant" to its young protagonist. Rives has mastered the art of contextual reflection to heighten the collection's heart: the portrayal of an enduring connection to the experiences and emotions of a younger self such as snow days, riding horses, and exploring nature's tiny treasures. In her hands, it is easy to be spirited away into the joy of growing up, belonging, and home.
-Maria Picone, Managing Editor, Chestnut Review
