關於產品
Product Information
From Ways of Going for Steve Will it be like paragliding -- gossamer takeoff, seedlike drifting down into a sunlit, unexpected grove? Or ski-jumping--headlong soaring, ski-tips piercing clouds, crystal revelations astonishing my goggles? . . . . Skittery flicker of a glare-weary lizard startled into the sheltering wings of a leaf, rusting freighter with a brimming hold shimmering onto a crimson edge. . . . Sad rower pushed from shore, I'll disappear like circles summoned by an oar's dip. However I burn through to the next atmosphere, let your dear face be the last thing I see. Whether writing poems about North American life and landscape; or love poems; or elegies for family and friends; or poems on serious, debilitating illness and the transformations it can effect--Elise Partridge offers in Chameleon Hours words forged by suffering and courage. Full of wit and empathy, Partridge's poems draw inspiration from sources as whimsical as tortoises and pontoons, as poignant as a homeless woman taking shelter inside a post office on a winter night, and as deeply personal as her own cancer diagnosis at a young age. Chameleon Hours is a book about the rewards of being reminded of one's own mortality and the lyric expression of life in all its intensity. Elise Partridge is a teacher and editor. She is the author of Fielder's Choice .

Reviews
"Reading Chameleon Hours , I find myself marveling at the luck of each heron, mosquito, field of Queen Anne's Lace, each person, place, thing or circumstance in this beautiful book, to have Elise Partridge's exquisite and precise attention. And how lucky we are to get to listen in as she offers each of them her flawless ear; the book is full of understated sonic gems like 'a kickball straight into pink lilac.' In 'Chemo Side Effects: Memory,' after describing 'groping in the thicket' for 'the word I want . . . scrabbling like a squirrel on the oak's far side,' she tells us 'I could always pull the gift / from the lucky-dip barrel; scoop the right jewel / from my dragon's trove. . . .' We of course already know this. It's evident in every one of these poems.", Elise Partridge is a poet of brilliant precisions. Each line presents a new, glinting angle of thought. Whether she's contemplating relics of World War II, or a mosquito struggling in a spider web like 'a fast-forward Rockette,' or shirts spinning in a dryer, their arms flailing, Partridge's coolly surprising intelligence rediscovers the worlds she remakes in words. These poems-good, tangy and chunky on the tongue-somehow reflect life's plenitude while maintaining their own spareness and balance. The result is an art of eerie compassion and an almost hyper-realist perception of the small, like the snail seen rippling and gliding its way across a paved road: 'Bow sprit-antennae plunge, rise:/ safety's ten lifetimes ahead.', "Elise Partridge is a poet of brilliant precisions.

Attentive to fact, to what she sees and knows, Partridge nonetheless makes space for what is wild, outside and within us-for the fears and the blanks of chemotherapy, for sharp variations within (and without) frames of metre and rhyme, and for the welcome consistencies of married love. She has learned detail-work, and patience, from Elizabeth Bishop, but she has made other virtues her own: riffs on familiar phrases open startling vistas and even her love poems get attractively practical.
