Bluff by Adam Chiles Hardcover Book

Description: Bluff by Adam Chiles Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Bluff is a return to offer farewells - to father, homeland, childhood. A haunting elegy crafted out of the tangible world, these poems approach the precipice and turn the reader back towards life with the senses alight. Chiles is a lyric poet of subtle, mysterious gifts.-Dan OBrien"We were nearing the end of something / though it was morning, the day young," so begins Adam Chiles clear-eyed elegy for his dying father. His grieving involves a return to his native Yorkshire: cottages on eroding bluffs, dark shore, stiff winds, rain against glass, and the ever-present sea. Theres a remarkable sense of inevitability to the forces he conjures. These lyrics sing to us of loss and change and continuity. They sting and soothe, sometimes all at once, as when Chiles reads Edward Thomas aloud to his father, "all afternoon, I give back / willow herb and grass" or when he sits in his fathers art studio, taking consolation in "his oils, his resins."- Catherine Staples Author Biography Adam Chiles was born in London and grew up in East Yorkshire, England. He is the author of a previous collection, Eveningland, nominated for the 2009 Gerald Lampert Award. His work has appeared in Copper Nickel, Gulf Coast, Indiana Review, Threepenny Review, Willow Springs, and elsewhere. Adam lives with his wife Emily and their children in rural Virginia.
