Uninvited Guests

Donald Glazer

This debut collection of poems, composed with no thought to commercial publication and discovered by Green Writers Press by happenstance, addresses events in the poet' s life that every reader can relate to — friendships, the beginning, middle, and end of romantic relationships, and the death of a loved one. And they do so with “ stiletto-sharp” metaphors — “ rosebuds stillborn in the falling snow” — and wry observations — “ Trying Again: Like an old shoe comfortable for a while but still causing blisters” — that evoke from the reader a knowing nod and sometimes an outright laugh. Short, disarming, crafted with carefully calibrated rhythms and innovative rhymes, these poems “ skulk in the grass” and, while your guard is down, “ barge right in” to your consciousness, uninvited guests. Duration - 1m. Author - Donald Glazer. Narrator - Donald Glazer. Published Date - Wednesday, 10 January 2024.
