With a half-dozen books of poetry published to date, Kenneth Fields
distills some forty years of teaching and writing about poetry
into" Classic Rough News," a collection of fresh sonnets and
sonnet-like lyrics that attests to both Fields's skills as a writer
and the inexhaustible possibilities of the form.
"Classic Rough News" follows a skeptical, cosmopolitan,
intelligent, poetic presence aware that its carefully constructed
veneer could crumble at any moment. In poems that mine interior
dialogue for the discovery of great truths, Fields conveys feelings
of awkwardness, incompleteness, conflict, and insanity-all in
finely crafted verse. Ironic and skeptical, the voice in these
poems records the flux of the mind, ruefully acknowledging how easy
it is to deceive oneself with mixed emotions. Fully mature and
unconcerned about impressions, "Classic Rough News" is grounded in
erudition and humor, revealing how tradition and talent can push
one another in unexpected directions.
