Forest Gander, Science and Steepleflower

The book arrived from amazon, I opened the first poem (Time and The Hour) read the first line, "The convulsive incision tore light" finished it, and I am now waiting for a three hour period where I can give this book my full attention. This guys seems to have set the bar high, where it should be.

Peter Gizzi

Was reading Periplum and other poems the other night, made no sense to me. Then all of a sudden it all hung together for me. Very good. Very good indeed.

Todays Reading

Reading “Negative Capability: Contemporary American Poetry” by Linda Gregerson today. Mostly reviews published in Poetry and The Boston Review. The bottom line with her review and point of view (I think) is that clear old line between “Imagination” and “Fancy”. She also has a keen eye for the ethic underlying a poetic strategy.
