Description

From the back of the book –

Centuries ago, Norse and Anglo-Saxon poets created kennings, highly-compacted, lightning-quick re-namings of what was most important to the bards and their audiences. In their mighty imaginations, the sea became “the whale’s road” and the sun became “the sky’s jewel.”

Like theirs, Kate Chadbourne’s newly-made Kennings signal a dynamic and playful engagement with the world and with language itself.  The Littles of the title are short, whimsical, lyric poems.

Sipped in thimblefuls, the poems in Kennings & Littles are condensed, potent, and delicious.
