Forget–Sadness–Grass
Poetry
- Price
- $17.95
Antony Di Nardo’s poems have a sublime precision that relies on the sonic and visual play of language. In poetry that surprises as much as it illuminates, Di Nardo delves into aspects of mortality, memory and forgetting, the cycles of loss and discovery.
Di Nardo’s sixth collection takes its name from the Chinese ideogram for daylily, that tawny orange blossom, which bursts its borders in the summer and, in this book, finds its way into poetry that blurs the line between mysticism and lyricism
Reviews
“This is a wonderfully variegated collection, where the poet evokes the life of the daylily, meditating on its beauty, couture, and transience, making surprising and mysterious connections to our personal experiences while expressing universal truths.” —Laurence Hutchman, Author of In The Writers Words: Conversations with Ten Canadian Poets
“Antony Di Nardo’s Forget–Sadness–Grass is an ode to the daylily on the surface, and so much more as you peel away the layers. Although he frames his collection through the lens of a daylily, Di Nardo is actually teaching us to recognize our smallness in the vastness of the universe while at the same time taking in every element of beauty and paying homage to nature’s wisdom. He gives us a recipe for living and for life in this extraordinary collection that only through going back to the earth, defies ends.” —Carolyne Van Der Meer, author of Sensorial
