I am pleased to report that Rattle has posted a review by Barbara Crooker of my current collection of poems, Seeded Light. The commentary includes a number of observations that I appreciate very much, particularly those containing a focus on the continuing presence of images concerning differing degrees of light within the poems, which reflect a theme introduced by the book’s title and an epigraph by Pablo Neruda.
I am grateful for Crooker’s description of the poems throughout the volume as “graceful and flexible couplets which take us on journeys to places far flung.” I am also delighted by the attention given to both the ongoing actions and the evocative atmosphere in Seeded Light, as well as by Crooker’s comment that a “constant awareness of the passage of time and the shifting of relationships give the poems a deeper emotional resonance.” I am thankful for this sensitive look at Seeded Light, and I recommend the review to readers.
