Carolyn Tipton / The Poet of Poet Laval (Salmon Poetry) (Unused)

Product Description

This collection begins by celebrating openings; moments that give an abundant sense of possibility. The poems sometime return here but also move through other themes - by way not of sections, but of transitional poems - to death and the Spanish Civil War, to art and different perspectives on creating. The poems then shift their attention to love - its dazzlement, its despair. The book ends with a series of poems about our very reciprocal relationship with the natural world, noting especially the ways in which it speaks to us - the green flash! Tipton is a poet, translator, and teacher, known for her prize-winning translations of Spanish poet, Rafael Alberti. Born and raised in Berkeley, she earned a Master's Degree in English/Creative Writing from Stanford University and a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the University of California, Berkeley, where she currently teaches in the Fall Program for Freshmen. She has taught at the University of Hawai'i, Manoa, and SFSU.

These Salmon Poetry books have come into us unused and unopened but due to the storage in their last location they might have some scuffs or marks on the edges of the pages
