In Tacoma Narrows, Mitchell Parry reflects on the nature of disasters, both public and private A reflection on things lost, Parry allows himself to feel deeply, to ask what went wrong and to ruminate tragic moments with humility and romantic sensibility Tacoma Narrows is Mitchell Parry's first collection of poetry Written over a number of years одсыэ and in different parts of Canada and Western Europe, Tacoma Narrows is lush and richly mature, with settings that range from England, Yugoslavia and Greece to Montreal, Banff and the small outer Gulf islands of British Columbia Acutely aware of the nature that surrounds him, Parry embraces things like the wind howling at his window, an elk in the backyard or an orange sunset, and attaches them to memories A deep mediation in three parts, Tacoma Narrows starts with Faithless, where Parry ponders the personal disasters that occur at home or away -- death, divorce, the losses that follow us wherever we go and the realization that "this is what it is to be human / & in love " Burn Unit opens with the award-winning poem of the same name In this second part, Parry moves towards the possibility that communities, literal and figurative, might offer hope The final section, Tacoma Narrows, is devoted to an extended examination of chaos and disaster, ultimately concluding that it's good to be here after all The poem itself is a meditation on the 1940 collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, a catastrophe that reminds us that "we live in the depths of a fluid / world " Tacoma Narrows is a consideration on how we weather storms, the "currents, turmoil, vortices" of life and recognizing that one is "still learning to let lost things stay lost " The result is a courageous, moving and deeply personal collection that asks us to realise that letting things go is the hardest thing disasters of all kinds demand of us, but it's also perhaps the most important lesson they can teach us.  2006 г Мягкая обложка, 90 стр ISBN 086492450X.
