Sinopse
Características

Circularity, a collection of poems from a fourth generation Californian's point of view, focusses on the classic themes of life and death. Many of the poems were written while the author lived with four generations of her family and were inspired by the continual circularity of life, death, and unsettling events in a familial setting. From "Earthly Catalogues" that evokes a warm description of natural elements with a surprising disruption, to "Suburban ER" in a sterile forbidding setting rift with the promise of death, to "Venice Beach" about a lost boy on the edge of maturity, these poems comprise an evocative view of a life lived with twists and turns. The centerpiece poem, "Adobe," set in a central California adobe brick house, is a coming of age story of a young girl, who learns of her Irish-Scottish-Italian heritage from her grandmother and how their part of California history went up in flames. With original cover art and drawings, this unique collection of poems is an exceptional glimpse into an original California voice.Nell Van Becker earned her Master's in English at University of California, Berkeley, taught at De Anza College in Cupertino, and received an NEH grant which she used to write in Rouen, France. She currently resides in West Marin, Caifornia, with her family.
