Paul Friedrich's A Goldfinch Instant is in the spirit of Basho - but it breathes with Henry David Thoreau as well. Haikus "from Concord to India" are embedded in a prose poem that will be of particular interest to readers familiar with Friedrich's poetry as well as his work in anthropology and linguistics - and that will be a delight for readers who encounter Friedrich here for the first time. It begins when "a goldfinch instant / on the top of a young fir / hit by first sunlight" triggers a memory of an afternoon with fourteen year old Nicky, one of Friedrich's children to whom the collection is dedicated. From "the North Carolina of Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain to Han Shan in distant China" to the New England of Friedrich's childhood, to Mexico, to India, to "the outskirts of Chicago" with a nephew and "his bird expert father... totally serious about red-tailed hawks and owls in the snowy fields with the cold March wind blowing... totally focused because it's fun to be out there with moles and voles under the dead marsh grass and harriers cooperating with Athena's birds coursing through the twilight... and because yet farther than those frozen wastes are other skies and other hawks like the three Thoreau describes on one page that come to us not as Hemingway's 'moments of truth' ...but as transitory experiences you cling to with bare hands over the abyss when the insects and then the plastics take over and miracles like Nicky will have seen the dawn of their death." "Totally serious, totally focused, because it's fun to be out there" beautifully describes the spirit of Friedrich's work. Books List_Books<
