It was interesting to hear him read his work at the festival. Sounds like an interesting collection.
Interesting subject matter. Gives you a lot to think about.
This collection did have a lot to think about.
I don’t believe I’ve heard of this poet before, but I’ll definitely add him to my list.
Serena, I love your thoughts on his poem IN THE PLACE OF SKULLS …”the absorption of the soul into the tree, or the mere image of saplings that have grown up and bear their own fruit after the sire has passed on does not matter because there is hope that life never just stops.”
Thanks, Beth. I really loved that poem. It was one of my favorites. He’ll be reading at a panel I’m moderating at the Gaithersburg Book Festival — he’s a local poet.
