The poems in Before the Wind must speak for themselves with passionate clarity:’A shriek in black ink down a diary’s page.' from 'Passage: March 9, 1936.'’Savoring the perversity of power, I opened my hand.' from ’Adventuring'’In that world within our worldThe explosion of Armageddon!' from ’A Conundrum Visited.'’Oh! Greedy Race to want much more than human!' from ’Speed'’Thirty-four million miles apart,Through space so narrow thatYour passing’s like a kiss.'from ’On Seeing Mars' (August 27, 2003)All the elements of fine ballads, free and rhymed verses, sonnets, and a villanelle are present in this volume. The past collides with the present in surprising images, and the vivid future is both possible and probable.
