The Residents - Paperback
Description
by Matthew J. Friday (Author)
The Residents is Matthew Friday's first book of poetry. It begins with the author's arrival at the height of the COVID pandemic and explores his new life as a US resident. The poems reflect on this new journey and study what being a resident means for other people, flora and fauna of the Pacific Northwest. While Oregon's inhabitants and landscape form the basis of many poems, others explore residency in a wider sense, crossing borders near and far away. Subjects range from barbers to hummingbirds, immigration headaches to territorial hawks, children splashing in puddles to bread-making with a father-in-law. Anyone who loves poetry that is concise yet descriptive, rich in images but with accessible language will want to read this book.
