Developing a Photograph of God by Robert S. King is a wonderfully
cohesive and morally serious examination of the topic he evokes in
the poem When the Road Curves Back "to find out why I'm here." This
collection engages the 'dark night of the soul' and the
presumptions of optimism; that life has meaning as King says in the
last poem "that my small telescope can pull both past/and future
back to show me how far/the curious soul has traveled." With a
maturity of vision and a language drenched in lyric, King leaves us
with remarkable images such as "Serpents of rain/ puzzle of noise
and clumsy dance." "the places/where regret nags, dreams freeze and
hope crackles down in fire" and "Smell the feathers of the angels
burning." These poems, intimate and agonized, swinging between the
horns of hope and despair, shed illumination on the grave and
haunting philosophical questions. Joan Colby, author of Joan Colby:
