Say Uncle

Author: Kay Ryan
Publisher: Grove/Atlantic, Inc.
ISBN: 0802197493
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 92

Book Description
“A poetry collection that marries wit and wisdom more brilliantly than any I know” by the Pulitzer Prize–winning former US Poet Laureate (Jane Hirshfield, author of Come, Thief). Filled with wry logic and a magical, unpredictable musicality, Kay Ryan’s poems continue to generate excitement with their frequent appearances in The New Yorker and other leading periodicals. Say Uncle, Ryan’s fifth collection, is filled with the same hidden connections, the same slyness and almost gleeful detachment that has delighted readers of her earlier books. Compact, searching, and oddly beautiful, these poems, in the words of internationally acclaimed poet and writer Dana Gioia, “take the shape of an idea clarifying itself.” “The first thing you notice about her poems is an elbow-to-the-ribs playfulness.” —San Francisco Chronicle “The short lines and quick images—almost snapshots—are elemental. Ryan puts them together, then pulls them apart, and twists them in playful fashion, as though she were an alchemist with a modern experimental attitude . . . Truly short-line, one-stanza (for the most part) wonders: full-brained poems in a largely half-brained world.” —Kirkus Reviews “Witty, charming, serious and delightful . . . her tight structures, odd rhymes and ethical judgments place her more firmly in the tradition of Marianne Moore and, latterly, Amy Clampitt. Those poets, though, wrote many kinds of poems: Ryan, in this volume, writes just one kind. It is, however, a kind worth looking out for—well crafted, understated, funny and smart.” —Publishers Weekly

Book Description
Garland Stewart's early life in Mississippi was focused on one overriding goal: to get out of Mississippi, because it isn't really the best environment for a gay man. After graduating from college, he accepted a teaching job in the Middle East. That was about as far away as he could get from the South and his family. When his third and final teaching contract ended, he decided to come home to spend a couple of months in Mississippi. He was between jobs and the time off would give him the opportunity to take care of his mother after she had surgery. Once he gets home, though, chaos ensues; after finding out that one of his sisters is an addict and an alcoholic, his mother gets arrested for "uttering" (writing bad checks). He makes the monumental decision to stay when he discovers that his sister Lynn's five children are about to be taken from her because of her addictions. He takes responsibility for the kids and lets his mother move in to help raise them. Written in a witty, folksy style, you will fall in love with the heart-warming and crazy characters in Say Uncle!

Book One of Halo Hattie's Boarding House Series. Busy, executive-type Sean Flannigan hadn't planned on taking time off from work. But the unexpected break comes just in time for him to watch his nine-month-old niece, Carly Ann, during his sister's two-week business trip. The only glitch is: Sean has no idea how to care for a baby. Neither, to his chagrin, does his beautiful new neighbor: the equally busy, female-executive-type Julia Evans--though, ultimately, the two have a lot of fun trying to figure out which end to diaper and which end to feed. But what will happen when it's time to give the baby back? Can Sean and Julia go back to the "rat race" and life as usual? Or are their hearts ready to Say Uncle... and Aunt?
