New and selected poems make an excellent introduction to a fine
American poet. Dixieland piano late at night in a pine woods ... an
elderly woman's blue dress ... a postal clerk dispensing stamps,
packaging, and devotion ... a ring and a prayer thrown into the
River Ping ... a Thai lover on the back of a Honda 125 ... a man
singing in a sidewalk machine shop ... an unexpected death ... The
author's recent poems were written in Maine, Thailand, and
Australia. They continue and extend the work in his three full
length collections (each generously sampled here). The author uses
clear words, usually beginning with a description, moving as he
writes toward deeper understanding of the subject. "Every poem is a
battle against style," he has said, "not to repeat yourself, to let
the subject speak with its own voice." There is something for
everyone in this book. The poems have a glow that strengthens on
re-reading. A treat for poetry lovers.
