From the very beginning-\u003cem\u003eFlower on the floor.\/Somebody has lost their bloom.\/I am very careful.-\u003c\/em\u003eKennedy pulls you in, though really, as with any jigsaw puzzle, you can enter anywhere and find yourself unable to stop being enchanted by this world that gets put together one tercet at a time. Birds of all species, one chickadee setting up its home into two birdhouses, music from next door, problematic snow, little Jesus at the gas station, hourglasses, cats and dogs, timepieces and shoelaces, software malfunctions in the forgiveness machine, hammer and teacup going home together, hesitating clouds deciding whether to cast shadows or not, daffodils breaching their contract, card catalogue in the junkyard with one drawer open-this poignantly quiet rhythm and boldly observant eye unfold a landscape that is defined often by the spaces between places and moments in time. In one of the occasional breaks of the tercet form the poet writes \"Behind one man's voice\" and then then there's space and then \"Another man's voice.\" In the poems to which we turn for insight and illumination we often sense poet and shadow self, the two voices talking to each other and including us in the conversation. Kennedy's \u003cem\u003eA Jigsaw Puzzle, \u003c\/em\u003e offers you a conversation to which you will want to return again and again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Christopher Bursk\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Improbable Swervings of Atoms\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neil Kennedy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646626044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646626045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Finishing Line Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.13d","brand":"Neil Kennedy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44127948177663,"sku":"9781646626045","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_317c1a52-7dc8-4c13-b28c-d63c30f3fbe2.jpg?v=1687456103","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-jigsaw-puzzle-neil-kennedy-9781646626045","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
