Charles Cantrell

4.9/5 (15684 ratings)

Description:In this aptly named collection of poems, Cantrell explores the deep impress on him of his father's alcoholism. His vibrant portrayals maintain a tension of aching contrasts. A lively boy stalks criminals with his radio hero, "The Shadow," longs to have a telescope, helps his dad build new porch steps. But the fatherly arm around his shoulder is the same one that delivers hammer blows of addiction and violence. The boy can't unravel the riddle, but he pushes the question. Lying out beneath the stars, he "wonder[s]/how their harmonies mesh and why they burn out/and if spirit figures in this." If Cantrell uncovers an answer, it may be in the balance of his perceptions, his refusal to love blindly or hate overwhelmingly, his courage in acknowledging the tangled misery and longing which tie him to his father: "With his rage..../With his kindness..../With his fear..../And his regret/like a tough weed/ growing beside a knotty fence post/that will take no nail/without bending it."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
