That opening dream image (just past the start) of the pond and creature and the closing with the pond and trout and references to God and father ......
I truly believe this book is/will be a classic. |
I think so too.
And as I've said earlier (in this thread I believe) the poetry is the life juxtaposing the dreariness of the content.
It's a book about love and the poetic word. Both can invoke beauty in death. And that is what this book does.
In a world as dead and desolate as can be there is still love. There is still man's imagination. Breathing life into those gray mornings and hopeless forecasts.
