Publisher's Synopsis
Poet and artist, Larry D. Thacker's third full collection of poetry, Feasts of Evasion, walks hand-in-hand with us into the daily lands of both the mundane and the mind-blowing details of living. That "there is poetry everywhere, in the make-up of everything, within everyone" Thacker would have us remember, how we find it is as varied as finding stillness in the train horn, the kudzu vine, the lonely hospital prayer book, or a few seconds at a fume-ridden intersection. Called "fierce and fearless" poetry by poet Mary Carroll-Hackett and "a necessary book" by writer Karen Salyer McElmurry, Thacker's work once again invites readers to live a double life, adding a new set of eyes for living.
