The Puppeteer of Objects: A Lyrical Poem

by Kathleen M Jacobs

Overview

THE PUPPETEER OF OBJECTS: A Lyrical Poem asks the question, “What might objects see in us as they set their gaze?” rather than what might we see in them. Through the exploration of twelve seemingly inanimate objects, the reader is invited to peel back their intricate layers to reveal the voice behind these mute, yet ever-faithful friends. And, in the process, pretensions are dropped and reality finds its way into even the most remote places.

Editorial Reviews

"Jacobs has transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary with the click of her keystrokes! Her poetic description of common objects is redefined. I found myself looking at the articles in my life differently, and with more appreciation, after reading this beautiful work of creative writing."
-Amy McLaughlin and her husband, Shawn Means, founders of the New River Gorge Winter Writer's Residency and owners of Lafayette Flats in Fayetteville, West Virginia, seek to create, through their shared vision, an alternative narrative for West Virginia.
