Peregrine, the first collection of poems from Paul R. Soupiset, alternates between intimate confessional and constructivist wordplay. Written during an intense and extremely prolific season, the author captured and refined a small body of work that explores the entry into life's second half, a particular season described by Soupiset as "…full of transition, sadness, disappointment and misunderstanding". Themes of beauty, love, faith, exile, forgiveness, fidelity, and vocation are explored, celebrated and brought into relief amidst the doubts and misgivings of midlife.

Soupiset's poems are at once familiar and strange, both recognizable and almost other-worldly. He can turn this feeling on a dime, and I never know at the start of a verse if I'll know what's going on by the end (and vice versa). For example, in "13 April 2014: Art Supplies," he introduces the universally recognizable event of accidentally leaving out (in the rain, overnight) something wrecked by water (we've all done this). He's already identified that these are art supplies (also familiar). He then describes the aftermath, evoking imagery of some of the materials we know, but also naming other materials alien to us: "waterlogged organza, grosgrain, and satin//with sopping pink yarn-balls." In addition to both of these lines being made from some of the most delicious words imaginable (I had to say them aloud when I read them) I have no idea what the first line refers to while simultaneously being intimately familiar with the second. The magic of the poem is that they both exist in the same basket. Pointing out this emotionally charged juxtaposition is one of the best things a collection of poems can do: the world is at the same time strangely beyond our understanding, yet comfortingly familiar to inhabit. I love these poems.Product details

Peregrine Poems by Paul Soupiset edition by Paul Soupiset Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
What a wonderful book! The author is an astute observer of the world and seeks to find meaning in every aspect of life. Growing older isn't always easy, but it brings new opportunities to reflect and dream. We are who we are, and poetry is the perfect vehicle to explore what was, what is, and what will be. Highly recommended!
