After a while we find that this isn't important: in fact, it enhances the feeling of small town peace. Plainsong is set in a small Colorado hamlet, though the when is never clear. Author Kent Haruf hones the feeling of simplicity with simple language - well used - and a sharp focus on character rather than place or even action. The real triumph for Plainsong is not for the characters, but for their creator. Rather, the struggles we see detailed are wonderfully real and simply drawn with a story that hinges on such mortal - almost homely - challenges that the reading is a soothing passage to a quiet place. No clattering crescendo for the triumph of good over evil. A simple story of individual struggle with human problems dealt with in a very human way. any simple and unadorned melody or air," and Plainsong is precisely that.

In the first chapter, in a great show of reasoning, Empson defends his assertion that ambiguity is a significant poetic device this is followed by a discussion of the relation between sound and sense in poetry. In addition to analysis of examples, the book includes more theoretical and even philosophical commentary on ambiguity. For some, Empson’s close readings may seem like an instance of reading too much or too deeply into the poems for me, though, the level of attention Empson gives to the language of the poems he analyzes is appropriate, particularly as he is discussing the work of writers who were intensely word-conscious (and insofar as Empson is trying to prove that ambiguity is a dominant device in English poetry, he really cannot avoid reading rather closely the poetry he discusses simply in order to make his point). Most of the book is analysis of examples as Empson supplies multiple readings of words and phrases from various poems in order both to define the different types of ambiguity and to substantiate his assertion that ambiguity is a significant literary device. For him, writers such as William Shakespeare, Alexander Pope and John Donne regularly employed the ambiguities of sense and syntax as a way of giving expression to highly complex ideas. Empson argues that ambiguity is a central device of poetry, and that it distinguishes poetry from other forms of writing. Her and my brother’s father actually went on dates, made plans to spend time together, and called each other names like “Baby” and “Sweetie.” She had him with a man she loved, and who loved her back. Her first child, my brother, was already sixteen. He was the “way” she never intended to bring another baby into the world by. The coworker turned friend that became a lover. What she meant was, she didn’t want a baby with him. It was adding to the frustration she felt burning in her hands. She moved the phone to the other ear to let it unravel. The thick white extension cord sticking out from the bottom of the phone kept getting caught between her wrist and her forearm. Eisenhower was president and when many women had babies they didn’t want or couldn’t afford to keep but with no money to stop them from coming, they let ’em grow anyhow. They’d known each other since they were four. On the other end of the phone was her best friend. In this excerpt from the book, she shares a powerful prolife story. I’ve written before about my appreciation for Jackie Hill Perry’s book Gay Girl, Good God: The Story of Who I Was, and Who God Has Always Been. There was a period to set everything up, there was some excitement, there was a moment of calm, then more excitement, calm, excitement, calm, excitement! And I believe that is the entire rhythm of the book that I have just summed up for you. I was quite impressed with this one! I liked it very much actually, and it had a steady rhythm that made it easy to continue along. Frankly, three out of four of those are things I enjoy as well at my age. I assume there’s a lot in it that a child would like as well, such as adults being terrible, magic bears, shape-shifting demons, and children outwitting adults. Having just finished it today, I’m not sure what the target audience is! This is one of those books that has a main character who is a child and yet it’s extremely entertaining and accessible for an adult. I didn’t think it would be a bad book, but I wasn’t sure I was going to be the target age or audience at this point. Essentially, my expectations were kind of low going into this. Kind of like with Harry Potter, I figured that even if it was a good book it wouldn’t have the same impact on me as it might have at that time. Technically it came out when I wasn’t even 1 year old, so definitely not on my radar at that point. This is one of those books that I thought I missed the boat on because it came out when I was too young to read it. |
