Barefoot is Kevin Hart's eighth collection of poems; it is rich in
elegies, meditations on lost love, and celebrations of new love.
The title speaks of mourning, pilgrimage, and the direct sensuous
contact of flesh with earth. Harold Bloom has long extolled Hart as
a "visionary of desire," and in this collection we find that vision
deepened and that desire extended. Never before has Hart stretched
his range of inspiration quite so far; while continuing to draw
from Christianity, he also responds to the rich heritage of
American Blues, and reveals a wit as sharp as a razor's edge. The
poetry is at once religious poetry and love poetry; indeed, the
"religious poetry" is itself love poetry. Always, Hart speaks to us
in words that seem inevitable in their simplicity. As he himself
has written, "The best conductor of mystery is clarity. The true
bearer of complexity is simplicity." Barefoot will delight poetry
lovers everywhere.
