Creance; or, Comest Thou Cosmic Nazarite : Poems, Paperback / softback Book

Creance; or, Comest Thou Cosmic Nazarite : Poems Paperback / softback

Part of the Drinking Gourd Chapbook Poetry Prize series

Paperback / softback

Description

In Creance; or, Comest Thou Cosmic Nazarite, Andrew Colarusso hybridizes lost and unknown spaces, taking his title from a falconry term for the cord used to restrain a bird.

The word derives from the late fifteenth century, from the French créance (“faith”), also denoting a cord to retain a bird of peu de créance (“of little faith,” i.e., which cannot yet be relied upon).

Poems of personal narrative and metaphorical depth speak for the voices searching—in a world that lashes out or looks right past what remains tethered to the past—the parts that occupy the whispers of wanting, the dreams of finally being seen.
