Flickering by Pattiann Rogers
" Rogers' poems bring an openness of spirit and an almost scientific curiosity to the world at her feet, cataloging unexpected connections everywhere she looks."-New York Times Book ReviewA new collection from a poet whose"celebrations of science and approachable yet profound spiritual connection to the Earth delight, entertain, and elevate"(The Poetry Foundation)
Denise Levertov has called the poet Pattiann Rogers "a visionary of reality, perceiving the material world with such intensity of response that impulse, intention, meaning, interconnections beyond the skin of appearance are revealed." The consistent theme In Flickering, her new collection, is the very breadth and prodigiousness of the universe itself. These wise poems, many inspired by various kinds of flickering actions in plants, animals, and natural processes, move nimbly between inner and outer worlds as Rogers addresses themes ranging from beauty, resilience and creation to the tensions and relationships between humans and wildness.
Pattiann Rogers is the author of more than fifteen collections of poetry and prose, including Wayfare, Firekeeper, Generations, and Holy Heathen Rhapsody, which will be published later this year. Her work has appeared in the New Yorker, Orion, the Paris Review, Wilderness, the New Republic, and many other publications. She has been a visiting writer at various universities and colleges and has received two NEA grants, a Guggenheim fellowship, the Lannan Literary Award for Poetry, and five Pushcart Awards. The Sowell Collection at Texas Tech University houses her papers from 1965 through 2010. She resides in Colorado with her husband, a retired geophysicist.
