In selecting this manuscript, Thompson wrote: \u003c\/p\u003eFrom the opening lines of \u003cem\u003eLike All Light\u003c\/em\u003e and throughout the collection, Todd Copeland wraps these poems in elegiac language both lyrical and haunting. His flood of memories-real and imagined-will remain with the reader long after the reading is done.

A native of Ohio, he lives in Waco, Texas.\u003c\/p\u003eThese attentive love poems-love of place, love of family, love of language-are \"worldly\" in a most generous, deeply human and humble sense. Heir to metaphysical poets like Charles Wright and James Wright, Copeland understands that poems not only reflect but take place; and in his vision, landscapes (literal and metaphorical, internal and external) are so reverently observed that each reveals its singular luminosity.-Lisa Russ Spaar, author of \u003cem\u003eMadrigalia: New \u0026amp; Selected Poems \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eLike All Light \u003c\/em\u003eis aptly titled in that these poems illuminate our world with, as the poet writes, an \"elegiac brightness.\" Copeland's world is a fallen one, but one that is still suffused with grace, if one knows where to look, and these poems teach us how to do just that. We are invited to \"make something \/ that never existed before.\" Pound urged poets to \"make it new,\" and Copeland answers that call in a collection of phenomenal tenderness and beauty.-Austin Smith, author of \u003cem\u003eFlyover Country\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47429304156409,"sku":"9780998645896","price":16.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/wo35vP1GAD9780998645896.webp?v=1771445011","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/like-all-light-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
