Información sobre este audiolibro
In Skies and Chasms, poet James Hansen reaches new heights and depths of his veneration of nature and his passionate feelings of being a part of it. Sunsets, sunrises, the moon and stars, forests and meadows, flowers and seasons, all are the creative elements of Hansen’s sense of himself. His sensitivity to language is remarkable, as the words flow soft or robust, mellow or fierce. The very sounds of words are a music to match the vibrations of his soul. The symbolisms of nature echo the development of his spirit, and like a painter he describes nature’s scenes with ever-changing imagery. Every sunset is unique, every cloud is a new phenomenon, and the poet’s self vibrates in metaphoric resonance with the universe’s infinitude. Of special note is the section of love poems for his wife. He will never believe that she is not an angel. The reader will rejoice at the poet’s grand good fortune for such happiness in life. May it inspire others. Hansen’s format is easy to read, with short lines and free, unrhymed text, weaving together masterfully chosen words. The simple language artfully flows to capture insights and emotions, beauty and celebration. You will want to read them many times. Each reading reveals more of its sensitive glow. His very first poem confesses, “I’m bathing in the riches of the universe.” Each poem is a jewel to sparkle and brighten life. Even those bemourning misfortunes emerge as hopeful encouragements. After journeying among the galaxies, he observes in one of his poems, “My imagination enriches my life, But my reality is better.” The reader may well join him on these sojourns, returning with a more joyous spirit. -- Kate Jones, DSPE Designer/Poet/Author/Thinker
