House Museum

Mike Bove

4.9/5 (34672 ratings)

Description:The poems in Mike Bove’s House Museum are both meditations on the quotidian and portals for time travel. The reader is drawn into the everyday moments of a remarkably observant speaker who contemplates nature or the minutiae of daily life. Dead rats in a trap he set, his wife slipping into a pair of boots to check the mail, his son playing baseball—each moment gives this agile poet a chance to reflect on larger truths, often traversing past and future. The poet’s father “beset by dementia” speaks a poem central to the book’s arc, mixing time and verb tenses: “next year when I retired. It was 1997 and 2006.” When he dies, the father becomes “all time / and movement together.” The poet’s son was “born yesterday” and now moves too fast “through time.” It is striking that these poems create the safe space the poet shares with his wife and children, yet House Museum makes clear that this house and every house that has been lived in, is a museum in which each room and object might trigger time travel, allowing both speaker and reader to enter memory. -- Jeri Theriault, author of Radost, my red and 2019 Maine Literary Award WinnerWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
