Nothing More Perfect

Más información sobre el libro

The award-winning poet Marty Gervais looks no further than life as it unfolds around him. He sees poetry as "the history of the human heart," and it is there that he discovers the substance for these new poems where the writer wrestles with the universal questions age, illness, and even death but not without showing the reader the tremendous power devotion plays in the conduct of one's life. This eclectic mix of poems are about boxers and singers, monks and priests in the Andes, and about a brother finding a 'cure' for blindness. Other poems speak about what people know, or see, or where they have been, or what they think. The beauty of Gervais' voice resides in his ability to hear what others have said and to give thanks for the love that being with others has brought him.
