Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Overhaul is Kathleen Jamies first collection since the award-winning The Tree House, and it broadens her poetic range considerably. The Overhaul continues Jamies lyric enquiry into the aspects of the world our rushing lives elide, and even threaten. Whether she is addressing birds or rivers, or the need to accept loss, or sometimes, the desire to escape our own lives, her work is earthy and rigorous, her language at once elemental and tender. As an essayist, she has frequently queried our human presence in the world with the question How are we to live? Here, this is answered more personally than ever. The Overhaul is a mid-life book of repair, restitution, and ultimately hope of the wisest and most worldly kind. The Overhaul is Kathleen Jamies first collection since the award-winning The Tree House.Winner of the Costa Poetry Award 2012 Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
