An Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest William Huhn, on air from August 19th
William Huhn’s Bachelor Holiday is a bittersweet, multi-dimensional journey through memory, mystery, and metamorphosis—where past loves, philosophical obsessions, and shifting weather unfold in language as supple as it is dazzling. In a wonderfully natural idiom, Huhn emerges as something like the Ovid of our time, observing and tenderly participating in the quiet miracles that transpire all around us, if only our eyes were as keen as his. Here, ‘stuff’ rests confidently beside a ‘dew-pearled spring,’ and four-line poems pulse with the same vitality as seven-page meditations. Bachelor Holiday is a collection that leaves me not only grateful, but almost glad to be alive in this strange and beautiful havoc of a century.”
