Description: So Surprised to Find You Here by Bart Sutter In this thoughtful and enthusiastic collection the author covers a range of experiences, viewed from the perspective of advancing age. Some of them are rooted in nature, others in travel, family memories, and nostalgia. Like a collection of Confucian odes, they leap from light-hearted lyrics to dramatic narratives, rich in incident. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Bart Sutters new poems embody a series of surprises. Why should a walk through a woodland bog call up the names and faces of first-grade girls? Whats it like to be a one-year-old whos crawled beneath a grand piano while its being played? Or an arborist, sky-high up a tree, whos suddenly attacked by killer bees? How come a Lutheran congregation worships at a boulder in the woods? Isnt this what poetry is for--situations, people, moments that take us by surprise and will not let us go?Now in his seventies, Sutter is haunted by lost friends and places, so this book has an elegiac undertone which only heightens the celebrations--of kelp on a California beach, a sexual awakening, a grandsons messy mastery of solid food. The book is rich with stories, and their settings range from the poets home ground in northern Minnesota to the backroads of New Mexico, to Ireland and Spain.At home, as well as in his travels, Sutter finds those transcendent moments that keep us going, despite our disappointments and discouragements. Author Biography Bart Sutter received the Minnesota Book Award for poetry with The Book of Names: New and Selected Poems, for fiction with My Fathers War and Other Stories, and for creative non-fiction with Cold Comfort: Life at the Top of the Map.
