Since the appearance of Timothy Steele's first collection of poems
in 1979, growing numbers of readers and critics have recognized him
as one of the best and most significant poets of his generation.
Widely credited with anticipating and encouraging the revival of
poetry in traditional form, Steele has produced a body of work
praised for its technical accomplishment, its intellectual breadth,
and its emotional energy. Toward the Winter Solstice, Steele's
first collection of new poems in twelve years, features his
characteristic grace, wit, and power, while extending his range. In
addition to the relatively short lyrical, descriptive, and
contemplative poems he has always written so well, this collection
offers several middle-length pieces that read almost like
compressed novels. Addressing a variety of topics and themes,
Toward the Winter Solstice explores the relationship between the
world of nature and the world of ideas. In one way or another, the
poems attempt to link the external material universe with that
sense of inward self-awareness central to our experience of life.
Throughout, Steele writes with a clarity that not only illuminates
his subjects but also acknowledges and preserves their ultimate
mystery and complexity.
