Descriere A Companion for Owls: Being the Commonplace Book of D. Boone, Long Hunter, Back Woodsman, & C. - Maurice Manning

\nThis collection of highly original narrative poems is written in the voice of frontiersman Daniel Boone and captures all the beauty and struggle of nascent America. We follow the progression of Daniel Boone's life, a life led in war and in the wilderness, and see the birth of a new nation. We track the bountiful animals and the great, undisturbed rivers. We stand beside Boone as he buries his brother, then his wife, and finds comfort in his friendship with a slave named Derry. \nPraised for his originality, Maurice Manning is an exciting new voice in American poetry. \nThe darkest place I've ever been \ndid not require a name. It seemed \nto be a gathering place for the lint \nof the world. The bottom of a hollow \nbeneath two ridges, sunk like a stone. \nThe water was surely old, the dregs \nof some ancient sea, but purified \nby time, like a man made better by \nhis years, his old hurts absorbed into \nhis soul, his losses like a spring \nin his breast. \n-from Born Again \n \n\n
