Beschreibung:
Richard Teleky is a professor in the Humanities Department at York University. He is the author of The Dog on the Bed; Goodnight, Sweetheart and Other Stories; The Hermit's Kiss; Hungarian Rhapsodies; Pack Up the Moon; The Paris Years of Rosie Kamin; and Winter in Hollywood. He is the editor of The Exile Book of Canadian Dog Stories and The Oxford Book of French-Canadian Short Stories. He lives in Toronto, Ontario.
Illustrating solitude, memory, and the consolations of art, this new volume of poetry explores a variety of concepts--such as the pull of the natural world, the loss of a beloved parent, an inherited family garden, and the claims of the imagination. From a Bartók piano concerto and characters in Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard to celebrities such as Dolly Parton, the collection delves into these subjects and more with passionate detachment and surreal wit. A wide range of verse forms is utilized, including the villanelle, the elegy, and the contemporary sonnet.
