Everyone's Poetry Book A book that shows every poetry lover that
modern poetry can be understandable Why should the lover of the
beauty of language put up with unintelligibility in his own native
tongue? Why should the reader of poetry face exile in searching for
the best words in their best order? In reading Richard Wolff, you
will see that "only the lover of language, someone on intimate
terms with her impervious ways, can begin to know what 'the best
words' and the 'best order' may be." -John McCabe. You'll thus note
that Richard Wolff prides himself on his clarity, concreteness, and
adherence to the discipline of poetic structure-virtues much
ignored in current literary circles. At their best moments, the
results of the poems of this collection "create impressions of a
voice of startling spontaneity." In Richard Wolff's pages, "Though
we cannot always decipher why or how it happens, we rely on poetry
to increase our knowledge of ourselves and to confirm us in the
truth of our experience." .,."there courses through these poems one
primary passion that serves to bind together and direct all the
others: the poet's passion for Beauty." If therefore you can reach
for only one book of modern poetry from your bookshelf, reach for
Everyone's Poetry Book. In it you will find reward and fulfillment.
Mr. Wolff spent most of his adult working life serving our nation
in federal publishing, managing four Department of Defense printing
plants in a 14 state Midwestern area. He and his wife, Nancy, live
in northeast Illinois in Lindenhurst, close to the
Illinois/Wisconsin border and have 17 natural born children: 12
girls and 5 boys.
