These well-crafted verses encourage thoughts more useful than our
habitual ones, sometimes by reflection on large questions,
sometimes by simple description of the missed wonder of ordinary
things. The collected verses of the late David Henschel, subtitled
'poems from a life, ' are presented together with a foreword by one
of his former students and additional poems by Norah Henschel,
Martin Dace and John Torrance. The poet's job is to enlarge us,
then bring us back to ourselves, here. This David Henschel achieves
in verses which, while pushing beyond the limits of traditional
form, still use the old tools from the poet's toolbox:
alliteration, internal rhyme, rhythm and every device that bends
words into full meaning. "This is no land of milk and honey quiet.
Only the restless searchers come here drawing words like water from
deep wells below their spirits' hills: a joy too much like pain
yearning to be given in others birth again."
