Hurdy-Gurdy (Cleveland State University Poetry Series: XXXVIII)

Poetry. "From the 'sweet scat' and 'jump rope hymns' of wonder and wistfulness to the transformational, lithe, sexually charged energy of jazz, HURDY-GURDY earnestly explores the differences between what we want, what we get, and what we must be willing to pursue at any cost. This is an exciting book — at once fluid, shapely, and steady as stone — whose tensions lead us to an authentic meditative wholeness" — Mark Cox. "This is not a poetry of the highfalutin violin nor the somber cello, but a melody you heard somewhere that followed you home. Elegant and silly, irreverent, fun and funny, Tim Seibles' poetry celebrates the spirit's little moments of holy joy" — Sandra Cisneros.
