Bøker av Ava Leavell Haymon

Records in woman's language the charm and bite of domestic life. Ava Leavell Haymon's poems form a collection of Household Tales, unswerving and unsentimental, serving up the strenuous intimacies, children, meals, pets, roused memories, outrages, and solaces of marriage and family.

On a pilgrimage to the Kingdom of Nepal, a group of American women trek into the Himalayas. Ava Leavell Haymon responds with language that strives to reconcile the extremes of this exotic place - danger and awesome beauty, community and abandonment, death and life, flame's heat and altitude's cold, an alien landscape and the poet's own memories.
