5.0 out of 5 stars
Autumn Window,
By Dr. J. Zheng (Mississippi, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Autumn Window (Paperback)
William Marr's poetry fuses William Carlos Williams and classical Chinese poetic heritage, but adds something fresh and philosophical: a fragrance of deep images beyond Imagistic poetry and the style of objective presentation in Chinese poetry. His poetry, terse and strong with a pure, unique voice, is a light that flashes surprising delights, a "momentary stay against confusion" in our modern, industrial civilization. Each poem in Autumn Window is a song to the soul and shows Marr's wisdom and humanity. That's why I have chosen Autumn Window as a textbook for my creative writing workshop at MVSU.

A window opening onto beauty, February 24, 2000,
By JCL (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Autumn Window (Paperback)
I enjoy tremendously reading this collection of poems. Marr's poetry is concise yet highly symbolic, with a keen sense of humor and humanity. For some of his poems, the old Chinese saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" can probably be changed to "A word is worth a thousand pictures".
