Ghosthawk
Ghosthawk | Matt Rader
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
"Many cultures have had names for seers like Matt Rader. Contemporary Western culture has none. This is the book of a man who has died more than once and who carries with him knowledge of the point where being's blaze touches nothingness. A book of profound humility and intense vision." --Jan Zwicky Ghosthawk is a guidebook of imagination from grasslands to star fields to the weather of the poet's body. Where's home in the crises of ecological collapse and mortal illness? Where's joy with constant pain, a future blurred by smoke? Carrying these questions, Matt Rader wrote down the names of the wildflowers he met in the mountains, canyons and woodlands of his home in the Okanagan Valley. These poems are what he learned, the directions as he can best describe them.

A poetry collection full of awe inspired wonder.
More people need to be reading and talking about this book! It's an incredibly profound and moving collection. Ghosthawk transcends western cultural views, embodying the poets spiritual and metaphysical connections with nature, the land, animals and the world. It's haunting, fragile, and utterly beautiful. Quite possibly one of the most bewitching collections I have ever read! #poetry
