Beggar's Songbook

Nathanael William Stolte

4.9/5 (11030 ratings)

Description:"This is a collection that calls for ceremony. I'd like to gather my beloved band of misfits, go out in search of a wrecked old building, build a small fire, gather around, and read Beggar's Songbook aloud together inside the crumbling walls. The poems in Beggar's Songbook are elegies, turnkeys, reckonings with "un-birth," pipe bombs, hexes, correspondences with the poltergeists of memory, and invitations: to claw open the petroleum-stained soil with our faulty human hands, to find the seeds that might still grow. They are trembling meditations, tributes to the doomed, tender and howling offerings of forgiveness, excavations of the bound body, entreaties of personal and planetary liberation. They are confessions that vibrate with pounding fists of an ego that will not be permitted to enter. They are chronicles of wreckage. They are possibilities that ascend only from such wreckage. Like the Coyote in his poem "Sights Unseen," Nathanael William Stolte's poems "shape-change" and "[Tell] the truth with a diamond tongue / Sharp and precise." In other words, amidst those of us who "confuse self-loathing for humility," Stolte has written a book of subterranean prayers that blaze with gasoline-soaked candor. Though unholy stenches may rise from our throats, Beggar's Songbook shakes and growls and whimpers us awake, humbles us to name what is unnamed within ourselves, and implores us to recognize the miracle of our own breath."-Rebecca Nison (poet, writer, educator)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
