You could spend your whole day in one of these poems and anywhere in it.Living spending spending living. You could live physically in the poem. What choice does the body have?I dig the 'listing' of things that riff and rhyme.This 'method' explores, rather than having a title that would frame/explain at onset, we have here a title that 'explains' nothing.None of it, no line in it, necessitates anything that follows it, no questions begged; if a summation or ending’s prized, possibly eyes’re on it, but there’s much in one’s lap or in the foreground, arms-length away, to be sifted and reckoned with.Like it doesn’t matter just what’s said, hashing and hammering might result in some slashed flatness, here are particulars overrun on the way there.None of it 'filler' and all of it, 'bundles of murk' to 'training heals' to 'oatmeat' as vital, indispensable, invaluable. The 'stuff of life' rather than the confabbed frictions that life’s arguably stuffed of.This poem could go on forever, a ticker tape of particulars, up for grabs, going once. Turning out hammered out vital stats, a line-stack of lines running vertically thru time.Italicized lines counterpoints as connectors, hinges, summations, concurrent poetic bizness conducted, parallel series, commentary.And places where the poem can fold and stack, maintaining their spacing even when the poem’s been folded and stacked, a cube on the desk, in the air, in the mind.Parallel poesy. - from Preface by John Crouse

    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....

    This is a book of readings of readings. It is not analysis, it is not a critical discussion, it is not the application of a theory or ideology to texts, but a record of the conscious/unconscious experiences of reading and engaging with that reading. It is an approach I have advocated for decades: that to 'understand' a text, especially one that seems strange or unusual, the bes...

  • Public Displays of Affection
    Jim Leftwich
    This unique book, written while the author and his wife have been moving around the Western USA, is full of references to place names, and flora and fauna of California, which reminds one of Californian writing of the 1960s, when poets, beats, and hippies were hanging out in places like Big Sur, Bolinas, Venice, and San Francisco. That resonance brings a level of lyricism to Le...
