Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Winner of Persea's 2008 Lexi Rudnitsky Poetry Prize for American Women Poets.

The impetus of this harrowing debut lies in tragedy: "My father shook the gun to get the bullet out. / He was a careless man, but only once." Yet even amidst a constant ache, the poems in Mistaken for Song do not refuse solace. Instead, they find consolation, communion, and even joy in the untamed natural world, rendered at every turn by Tara Bray's pitch-perfect ear for heartbreaking music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Award winning and prolific poet Tara Bray brings a delightful blend of storytelling and poetry, April 10, 2009
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Award winning and prolific poet Tara Bray brings a delightful blend of storytelling and poetry in "Mistaken for Song". Using the misconceptions that birds sing but instead are simply communicating with one another, she explores both human and animal concepts in a beautiful blend of verse. "Mistaken for Song" is a choice book of poetry, sure to please. "Blackberry": Dew-licked,/teetering & ripe,//crypts plumped up/with bright drizzle,//this purple-witted seed-star,/earth-lodged & lonesome,//old prophet once pleasure-shy,/now aching in thornlight,//sway, roothold, desire//whipped fast with impulse,//hands reaching, ripping, riddling - all/to bring the old sweet trinket home.
