PORTLAND, OR, UNITED STATES, September 24, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- Unsolicited Press is excited to announce the release of THE INVISIBLE WORLD , a haunting and lyrical poetry collection by award-winning poet Matt Daly. In THE INVISIBLE WORLD, Daly's poems lead readers into the rough beauty of the wilderness, offering keen observations and challenging conversations with his complex ancestor, Cotton Mather.
Juan J. Morales, author of "The Handyman's Guide to End Times," says:“In THE INVISIBLE WORLD, Matt Daly's poems guide us into the roughly beautiful wilderness with keen observations and challenging conversations with his complicated ancestor, Cotton Mather. We find ourselves by connecting, departing, and reflecting on the ghosts and gestures of mosquito pokes, bat wings, flash of mountain lion crossing our headlights, and messages delivered by crows and ravens. Daly's poems beautifully blend together dream, the listening pines, and the wash of river so they cling to us like the burrs and seeds we carry all the way home.”
Daly's collection is a reckoning with a troubling ancestral history. His lineage traces back to Puritans like Cotton Mather, whose rhetoric cast wild lands as dark and evil places to be tamed. In response, The Invisible World seeks not to undo this history, but to understand it in the hopes of discovering how we might live more harmoniously with the natural world today. Daly's poems are both love letters to wild places and elegies for a wounded earth, exploring how the past informs our present, and how connection with the wilderness can foster healing.
