Most of these poems first appeared in Poetry magazine in the decade from 1967-76 and quickly became underground classics. Brought together here--with more recent work--they reveal their coherence and their urgency.From "Blake's Seasons": "To Spring" My God! The morning buttonholed me and you, Young Spring, slid down the facets from its crystal- Linity; can you see us here, this earth mote, Now it unites millions' faces turned for you?The earth budges and peopled calls to itself, And swells with us and our echoes towards your Lucent enshrining; withdraw that consent just Once, come smooth and sharp to stand within our voice!Try rising with the sun as I have seen you So our breath may catch at your warmth, lapped and tamed In daily humbling; in dew and jewels embrace The wintered soil still wincing from its last loss.With your cherishing, deft hands, yourself, garnish Her naked force, with your tongue luster her skin; Then leave her flare with your bewildering flame, Whose clear flesh was bounded to abound in you.

Language creative juxtaposition wonderful,
By A Customer
This review is from: David Mus: Wall to Wall Speaks (Princeton Series of Contemporary Poets) (Paperback)
Stunning poetry with an original use of language. You may not find the poetry approachable on a first read, but you keep getting drawn back by the original use of language, and the poetry grows on you.
