Yeasayer
This is the third chapbook of poems by Andy Roberts that NBP has published, and there's a reason we keep on keepin' on with his work...we just can't get enough of his mouthwatering poetry!
C. W. Everett, senior editor at Pudding House Productions, has this to say about the book:
"Yeasayer...is a pensive collection, a philosophical reflection on the questions human beings encounter at we age. Is there any meaning to all this life and living? Have we done alright in the time we have had? Is there comfort and peace waiting for us?
These poems are compact by design, filled with brilliant language and a keen sense of place. Roberts' eye for detail is well-trained and discerning. His grasp of the natural world forms a grounded and credible universe filled with amazement. Roberts seems always to be building a world in which he can feel comfortable and make sense of things as much by instinct as logic. The tone is conversational and the poems are accessible intellectually and emotionally.
Quiet wisdom flows from these poems; the poet directs us toward understanding and most importantly, a kind of beautiful acceptance, even forgiveness of ourselves for not understanding sooner. As always, Roberts' strong voice draws us in and holds us gently from beginning to end."
