David Cope's fifth book, Silences for Love, is framed in elegies,
prophet Martin King to old friend Allen Ginsberg, opening with
lights fading & flaring over Lake Superior, closing with one
leaf in the hidden meadow. Here are the weary traveler &
one-eyed boy, Gettysburg sundown, sighs over Sarajevo &
massacre at the Patriarch's tomb, snowstorm canoe trip ending with
a brother beneath Northern Lights - deaths & weddings, reunions
in companion love, Oklahoma City trail of tears, asking blessing to
learn healing. Here too are long silence & welcome home: in
aging harlequin & his gypsy, in the runes of the Two-Hearted
River, in dreams & visions going & coming, memory of a lost
friend trapped on corpse detail, rush hour traffic jam, old bridge
& hidden meadow, snowstorm near-death car crash, old friend
fired hence with a last call for love, free clothes, & newly
unfurling leaf. Silences for Love also offers skillful technique,
attention to minute particulars & variable foot, continuing to
extend the demotic traditions of American poetry established by
Walt Whitman, William Carlos Williams, and Charles Reznikoff.
