Quiet, moving, image conjuring poetry.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cow'sleap: A Nightbook: Poems, 1959-1997 (Paperback)
Tom Smith's quiet, moving, image conjuring poetry drifts through the mind like the night dreams and day memories he draws from. From Cow'Sleap: A Nightbook emerges a body of work that documents a unique, compelling, and reflective voice whose lyric verse will activate the minds and emotions of all those who read them. Family Album: Summer: He leers above his wine./Friends grin. An arrow on the wall/behind him points.//Thanksgiving: He's the father/in a high-back rocket. Woman,/boys, and his bare feet.//Christmas: His mother,/the toy drum on her knees,/one stick lifted.//Christmas: His boys/naked as morning/under feather bonnets.//Christmas: His father/stranded on the icy drive/with presents.//August: Under the pine/in his rock garden/the woman scowls at the sun.
