Death haunts the pages of Natural Causes, but so does compassion
and love. There is little darkness here, and less despair, despite
the abundance of cemeteries, loss, and ghosts - both real and
imagined. Mark Cox's youthful bravado has given way in these poems
to an assured sense of understatement. The weight of fatherhood,
the loss of a grandmother, the fear of loneliness - these are the
details around which Cox plumbs the depths of mortality and memory.
Fully comfortable with the domestic tableau from which he writes,
this is a poet never complacent. The penchants for metaphor and the
resonant turn of phrase that informed Cox's earlier work remain as
vibrant as ever, indeed are heightened, as he masterfully affirms
and celebrates the range of familial complexity and human
connectedness.
