ISBN: 0809326914 ISBN-13: 9780809326914 Publisher: Southern Illinois University Press OUR PRICE: $17.06 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: February 2006 Annotation: "Always Danger" offers a lyrical and highly imaginative exploration into the hazards that surround people's lives--whether it's violence, war, mental illness, car accidents, or the fury of Mother Nature. In his second collection of poems, David Hernandez embraces the element of surprise: a soldier takes refuge inside a hollowed-out horse, a man bullies a mountain, and a giant pink donut sponsors age-old questions about beliefs. Hernandez typically eschews the politics that often surround the inner circle of contemporary literature, but in this volume he quietly sings a few bars with a political tone: one poem shadows the conflict in Iraq, another reflects our own nation's economic and cultural divide. "Always Danger "parallels Hernandez's joy of writing: unmapped, spontaneous, and imbued with nuanced revelation. |
