Description
Praise for Greg Hewett:
2010 Lambda Literary Award Finalist in Poetry
2003 Publishing Triangle Thom Gunn Award for Gay Poetry Winner
In poems that are full of wit, touching, and introspective, as well as formally inventive, we find the poet losing his sight, becoming a parent, and occupying middle age with a sense of calm and inevitability.
From Skyglow:
we spin filaments of light into profiles,
drawing each other
through something resembling time and space and dark.
Let's call this something something vague and mythic as the ether. Let's say we're ethereal.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Reviewers praise Blindsight for its plainspoken, conversational, and confessional style that reflects universal human desires and urges. The poetry resists nostalgia while probing the gaps in perception and language, offering a thoughtful, sceptical look at poetic metaphor and the transcendent versus the earthly. The collection is noted for its poignant reflections on the contemporary moment and the nature of knowing and feeling.
