Beschreibung:
Paul Hunter's (p. )poems have appeared in numerous journals, as well as nine full-length books and four chapbooks. His first collection of farming poems, Breaking Ground (2004, Silverfish Review Press) was reviewed in The New York Times and received the 2004 Washington State Book Award. A second farming volume, Ripening, appeared in 2007, a third volume, Come the Harvest, followed in 2008, and the fourth, from the same publisher, Stubble Field, appeared in 2012. He has been a featured poet on The News Hour, and has a prose book on small-scale, sustainable farming, One Seed to Another, from the Small Farmer's Journal. An autobiography in prose poetry, Clownery, appeared in 2017, and two western novels, Sit a Tall Horse and Mr. Brick & the Boys, were published in 2020 and 2022, from Davila Art & Books, in Sisters, Oregon.
Clownery: In lieu of a life spent in harness is the autobiography of an artist and teacher resembling the author, in prose poetry, with some fictional and hypothetical pieces set off in italics. The clown grows and matures despite the buffeting of an often painful waking world, though he tumbles and soars in his dreams. The book follows his education, consciousness, work, play, dreams, humor, art, love, relationships, and the mysterious nature of a full life on this fragile planet.
