The Brief Clear by Kim Farrar

$12.49

 

Whether she is memorializing a misunderstood planet, imagining a propulsive jig with a 5,000 year old statue or lovingly describing the urban landscape, “the giant necklace of red taillights,” from her cab window, Farrar’s journey of the familiar and the unfamiliar is alive with her conversational tone and provocative imagination. At once tender and feisty, the poems in The Brief Clear transcend their own circumstances of loss and love, inviting us to see our own with both pathos and humor. Don’t miss this beautiful ride.

–Kathleen Kraft, author of Fairview Road

 

The Brief Clear, Finishing Line Press; Georgetown, Kentucky, 2015

Both sharp and tender, Kim Farrar’s deftly written poems in The Brief Clear move between love and loss, difficulties and confidence, and from keenly observed delineations of nature to stark city life encounters.

–Leah Maines, Publisher, Finishing Line Press
