Ingrid Ruthig

4.9/5 (30290 ratings)

Description:Winner of the 2017 Gerald Lampert Memorial AwardIn this, her debut collection, Ingrid Ruthig records the ebb and flow of individual life through time, landscape, and our collective existence. How we connect with the past, where we are now, and despite our inherent separateness, our personal convergences – these are what lay ahead on this journey. Ruthig also explores our need to create, to build a deeper sense of self, of belonging: questioning, observing, then striving to respond. Her voice is confident, concentrated, wry. This is a book of poems about the dynamic of being, and our shifting perception of who we are from one moment to the next.Advance praise for THIS BEING . . .“To use words from ‘Doorway’, one of the most enigmatic of Ruthig’s poems, her subjects frequently involve the ‘were’ inside the ‘are, or the thin/now of between’. Her architectural training and practice may coincide with the clarity, concision and visual richness of her poems, but the poems are also invested with metaphysical and emotional ambiguities. She has a baroque sense of fluidity, transience and riddling premonition. She is fascinated by the askew, the slant, the unknown country which is a continuously receding destination. Ruthig’s is a poetry of very high ability and intelligence.” — Peter Sanger, author of Aiken Drum and poetry editor of The Antigonish Review“Ingrid Ruthig’s poems make possible, as the American poet James Dickey would have it, ‘the deepest kind of personal possession of the world.’ On offer are long views, in which ‘not glancing behind us. We just go on,’ as well as intimate observations of ordinary life; noting that skin is an organ ‘shifting across sleep’s dunes,’ or that a childhood caper with siblings is forever bound to ‘shared corners of sight.’ Accomplished in both energetic and elegiac tonalities, Ruthig’s melodious lines and enjambments offer visually rich detail and faith in living, despite the ‘headstrong, outbound current.’ While they recuperate and celebrate nature and attachments, these poems manage a philosophical eye that is a rare delight in a début collection.” — Nyla Matuk, author of Sumptuary LawsWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
