To Cast a Stone
Overview
Who among us is fit to judge?
Tim Thornburgh's To Cast a Stone opens with that question and refuses to let it go. Beginning with recent poems that speak plainly of the timbre of our time, the collection moves backward in time to the ghosts of WWII that still haunt the islands, before settling into a remembered paradise of grottos, lagoons, and an island sunset.
Written by a former Peace Corps instructor who has called Yap, Saipan, Pohnpei, and the Philippines home, these poems carry the weight of lived history, from sweatshops and battlefields to paradise and reckoning. To Cast a Stone asks its readers to look honestly at what we inherit, what we exploit, and what we're still capable of loving.
