Summary:
"Russell Thornton's latest collection of poems explores powerful, primary human relationships through images of two worlds: the natural and the urban industrial. Simple grass is the iron of an invisible forging within nature that involves the human creative consciousness. A scavenger alley crow is the universal creative spirit in brutal primordial disguise. A murderously violent father and son are integrated into a single new man who walks 'bright as a song in the air.' A young daughter flings up her arms to seagulls that 'collect up the world, opening it like a door.' An infant son fights the 'anger in him ... the death ... with the heaven in living flailing hands.' Intensely personal, Birds, Metals, Stones and Rain reveals how essential human identity reinitiates human consciousness in a participatory universe. Russell Thornton's books include The Fifth Window, A Tunisian Notebook, House Built of Rain, The Human Shore, and his latest collection, Birds, Metals, Stones and Rain. For the past number of years he has lived where he was born and grew up, in North Vancouver"--Provided by publisher.
