"Molasses Smothered Lemon Slices" is a collection of 189 poems,
about half of which have been published in journals and magazines
in Canada, USA, UK, and Australia. Forty years of writing in a
variety of styles and with vast array of themes is represented.
Free verse, short, experimental, rhyming, metered, shape,
narrative, formal, traditional, lyrical, cleave, and combinations
of those are found here. The themes range from the tried and true
of the human condition to unique vignettes of experience. Some
works are simple lyrical statements, some venture into complex
scientific, historical, philosophical, or ecological subjects, and
some are all of those. Humor is understated and darker places are
faced with courage. The external world often appears front and
center; challenging yet welcoming and surprising, like the pieces
found here. The author invites readers to take their time reading.
Poems, medicine, or chocolate should not be consumed all at once.
The poet might be an outsider of the poetic establishment and
readers who don't normally read poetry are given special welcome to
this volume. The writing is sometimes sentimental but never
cloying, sometimes didactic but not unbalanced, sometimes a
wilderness but not without signposts. There is a seriousness here
and attention to sound. Time spans from centuries ago to the
future, place ranges from Africa to the Arctic. There is something
here for most everyone.
