The fifth winner of the annual New Criterion Poetry Prize is
Geoffrey Brock's "Weighing Light." From the glinting scales in a
painting by Vermeer to the white lines that disappear beneath a
headlight's beam, Mr. Brock's poems measure out the often elusive
weights and distances of the known world, confronting the unruly
powers that threaten his burnished surfaces. His acute observations
of landscape and of the smallest gestures that pass between people
give rise to affecting human dramas both stark and deeply felt.
Once read, his keen perceptions all the more striking for the
expertly cadenced music of his language and his supple use of
poetic form will be long remembered.
