| Sumario: | "As a child of deaf adults (CODA), Pia Taavila first learned to communicate when her deaf father fingerspelled objects in her crib and her mother showed her the signs for objects in picture books. From this primary visual orientation, in combination with her own innate sense of imagery, Taavila crafted the verse featured in Moon on the Meadow: Collected Poems.". "Taavila uses the graphic power of her verse to evoke emotions about all aspects of existence - love, loss of love, family, death, and desire - feelings elicited through a lens attuned to the simple beauty of the natural. Most of the poems in Moon on the Meadow have been published at least once in established journals, testimony to the broad appeal of her passionate outlook on life. Yet, Taavila believes that her experiences as a CODA are essential to her ability to write at all. She never strays far from her home, her family, and the comforts they bring her through her art, sensibilities that will appeal to all readers."--BOOK JACKET. |
