Books by John Caddy
From the revulsion on a child’s face as the speaker’s recovering body struggles to walk after a stroke, to the gift of a night nurse revealing her tattoo, these poems defy consolation in their consideration of mortality. This collection engages readers with acerbic wit, base profundity, downright honesty, and a no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners attitude.
Organized by the seasons of the year, beginning with fall, these poems find wildness near at hand—and, through its recording, deepen consciousness of the physical processes of the earth and our own lives. Along the way, the collection provides suggestions for individuals, teachers, and students who want to start their own daily poetry journals.
