FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description An Unwavering Horizon is a finely crafted collection that explores perspectives and understandings often missed in the hustle and crush of everyday life. The beautiful things. The ugly things. The poetry of things. Gina Williams takes an honest, questioning look at the hard realities of the human condition, from family crisis to war to our precarious place in the natural world, while also seeking answers and offering hope for the future. Jonathan Starke, editor of Palooka and author of Youve Got Something Coming writes, "Williams channels the hardships of existence through a lightning voice of empathy and illumination--pure and crisp and sure of its subjects. The rough love of family, the fleeting nature of memory, the winding road of illness, the harsh screams of war, the sorrow of lost connection, and the ever-eroding hope for a better world." The highly visual imagery and lyrical, yet grounded poetry of An Unwavering Horizon takes the reader on a satisfying and thought-provoking journey through the natural and human elements of Earth/Truth; Spirit/Power; Air/Love; and Water/Wisdom. Author Biography Gina Williams is a journalist, photographer, former firefighter, and gardener. Shes a Pacific Northwest native and can often be found rambling in the Oregon Outback, volunteering at the community garden, or on assignment in a far-flung location. She lives and creates near Portland, Oregon. Williams is a Pushcart Prize nominee for poetry and founder of Plein Air Poetry Northwest, a nonprofit organization supporting literary arts and environmental activism. Review "Williams channels the hardships of existence through a lightning voice of empathy and illumination--pure and crisp and sure of its subjects. The rough love of family, the fleeting nature of memory, the winding road of illness, the harsh screams of war, the sorrow of lost connection, and the ever-eroding hope for a better world. An Unwavering Horizon swells with compassion, pulses with lovely imagery, and fights to make sense of all that well never know."--Jonathan Starke, founding editor of Palooka and author of Youve Got Something Coming "Gina Williams is a powerfully observant poet whose work unfolds a world of emotion from the often-overlooked minutiae of everyday existence. An Unwavering Horizon is a finely crafted collection of many different strands that readers will delight in returning to again and again."-- Dr. Darren Richard Carlaw, Editor, StepAway Magazine "In An Unwavering Horizon Gina Williams gives us a look at family and moments of intimacy and discovery: Granny watered the crumbling / red clay dirt . . . She glances /out toward the empty road, /then sets her jaw, thin lips /an unwavering horizon. But this horizon expands the view: For the AIDS babies, he explains, softly, / needles never pausing. With it comes the innocent wisdom of a child: he looks toward the altar-- /points at the crucified christ /as if seeing it for the first time /and screams, mommy! look! /get that man down. A collection for the thinker: "a man out there a drift . . . / . . . /Jesus nowhere to be found." In this pensive collection, the reader will find reason to relate and to question."--Robert L.
