I write to sense the sound / of my own breath, to hear / even the silences. That tiny poem concludes Listening Still, and it could stand as the epigraph for the entire collection. Using a dazzling array of verse forms ranging from free verse and concrete poetry to villanelle, sestina and pantoum, Small demonstrates how she was shaped by the tragedies and triumphs of her life. Like Robert Frost, Small is a believer in synecdochesmaller things touching larger things. Some of the most moving poems in Listening Still deal with the signicance of the most quotidian thingsa little boy asleep on a bus, a bunch of Shasta daisies... --Miles David Moore, author of The Bears of Paris and Rollercoaster Sparrows sing me into day, says Edna Smalls sturdy, synaesthetic, often witty and always lovely voice. The many tributes to the winged choir members that populate her mornings soar and serenade. Throughout, there are glimpses of a gracefully aging, sensuous person facing dusk and beyond. Longer meditative poems reflect losses there is earned grief in this collection populated by noisy birds, conversations between lovers, messages from the dead. But mostly there is delight. One chuckles at the sly turns of simple words. One gasps at the stunning wham of a last inexorable line. And one simply enjoys the wildly fun poems in the final section. Smalls poems, whether a complex villanelle or a terse word picture, are a tribute to a sensibility working, with all senses and cylinders, to hear, even the silences. --Eleanor Elson Heginbotham, Professor Emerita, Concordia University; author of Reading Fascicles of Emily Dickinson: Dwelling in Possibilities. A love of shapes, surfaces, and depths characterizes Edna Smalls collection Listening Still. Each of the poems, like the stones in My Fathers Gardens, seem to arrive by serendipity, their idioms and endings both polished and remarkably casual. Small is a miraculist of the everyday, a tilter at rainbows. That said, she spurns the cheap revelation, recognizing the inexorable conflict between desire and satisfaction. In the ragged lines of Elegy for Jason (a silent surge roars within / the comet gone from view) or in the hushed ferocity of Queens in the Garden, Small reveals the bittersweet amber of her verbal power. -- Karl OHanlon, Poet, Co-editor of Eborakon Browse All Poems - Love Poems - Poem Hunter Best poems and quotes from famous poets Read romantic love poems love quotes classic poems and best poems All famous quotes Inspirational Christian Stories and Inspirational Poems at Provides hundreds of inspirational quotes Christian stories poems and thoughts by various authors organized by subject matter Encouragement Poems - inspiring-poemscom Encouragement poems to comfort you during times of despair and a guiding hand to help lead you towards happiness and better times poems & poets Academy of American Poets poems & poets - Search over 2500 poet biographies over 6800 poems as well essays about poetry and some of the most important books anthologies and textbooks Robert Burns - To A Mouse - Poem - YouTube Robert Burns' To A Mouse presented by David Sibbald from his CD "The Greatest Poems in the World" (available at robertburnspluscom/CDhtm Learn English: Listening materials English Listening Material Listening materials for English learners The list includes poems and songs Poetry Daily a new poem every day Poetry Daily the online web anthology and bookstore A new poem every day along with poetry news archives and more PureVolume We're Listening To You PureVolume is the place for rising artists to host their mp3s and get exposure We showcase unsigned artists independent labels and major label artists Visitors Poems About Life Struggles - Living Life Poetry Relate to and share our best poems about life struggles Deep poetry on life and living it to the fullest can provide inspiration to the reality you're living in lancsngflacuk - The Lancashire Grid for Learning Website The Lancashire Grid for Learning provides a variety of educational resources content and managed services to support schools in maximising the benefits of technology
