Poetry that speaks to the wonder in the mundane,
By
This review is from: In The Desperate Kingdom Of Love (Paperback)
I first heard Brad Sachs through his poem ""A Boy in a Bed in the Dark" which was featured on the public radio program "The Writer's Almanac."
Like most of his poems, "A Boy in a Bed in the Dark" is about sadness, loss, beauty, and the everyday trials of life. Sachs, a psychiatrist or something by day, writers poetry that captures not only the magical but the mundane. He describes the things that make our normal, extraordinary lives worth living, but also finds the moments that we can't forget; the type of moments that are wont to crawl up inside our hearts and post a change of address to the local mailman. "A Boy in a Bed in the Dark" perfectly captures that memory so many of us have, the memory of something gone wrong, something we neglected, something that went to far. The sort of thing that haunts us in the lonely watches of the night, when sleep is distant and our sins all to near. See, just thinking about Sachs makes me get all poetic. |
