Michael Head's newest (or second) volume of poems, The Mayfly,
explores both the poet's inner world, and the physical world around
him. In tender detail, and in the painterly way of one trying to
manifest himself in in what he sees, Michael Head, documents the
relationship between thought and matter. These poems are lyrical,
imaginative, and extremely vivid, like a series of photographs. The
ocean, the off-season colors of Cape Cod, will render the reader
nautical, salted, and ever so slightly turned around in the wind,
as dreams blur with sadness and memory, love and isolation. The
heft of his moods and insight define the ever-evolving craft of an
artist searching for the music of brief but meaningful thought. The
poems have a certain elegance, the author a romantic sensibility. A
thoroughly enjoyable book.--Rachael Mayer"I loved the clarity of
the images; Mike Head is a medium for of the deep image school. He
interprets classics of that world and makes them his own. Cross
this with a cyclical mind and a reverence for the necessity of
confessing and for believing one's way into a fresh, 'natural',
cape cod-borne fresh start. He has a keen sense for the weather of
emotions and the imagination to express them in new twists on the
nature poem."-Sarah Pearlstein"Great wit and feeling fill The
Mayfly. Little treats like ladybugs and rhubarb dwell in there too.
This collection of poetry is a pleasure to hold, to read, and to
ponder."-A.J. GlassmanThe bio. (no picture) on bottom should read:
