Description

David Bottoms explores otherness, the death of parents, and private spirituality. Images of rural Georgia confront the changing landscape of his memories where he searches for refuge in quiet places of prayer. Rooted in nature, Bottoms' poetry affirms the "tenuous ways tenderness seeps into the world" and the loneliness inherent in memory. Memory is "smoke off a damp fire" as Bottoms explores absence, a contemplative inner life, and changing landscapes.From "An Absence":Yes, things happen in the cool white spaces,those moments you turn your head -the way the trembling branch suggests the owl,or the print by the pond suggests the fox.Near the end, though, only one thing matters,and nothing, not even the fox, moves as quietly.David Bottoms is the author of eight books of poetry and has received the Walt Whitman Award, fellowships from the NEA and Guggenheim Foundation, and served as Poet Laureate of Georgia for twelve years. He currently holds the Amos Distinguished Chair in English at Georgia State University.
