5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful book that will inspire poets and readers alike.,
By Wade Newman (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: God's Loud Hand: Poems (Hardcover)
"God's Loud Hand" is Kelly Cherry's strongest poetry collection to date. In it she demonstrates a masterful balance between form and content. Her religious/spiritual themes lead the reader toward higher ground, especially "Reasons", "In the Garden By the Sea: Easter", "The Island of Contentment", and "God's Friends Will Wear Rain*bows". They are unique in an era when most poets are still writing about what they see in their mirrors. Cherry's monumental sequence, "Songs for a Soviet Composer," is an example of pure alchemy, in that she turns the anguish of love's longing into stanzas which glint like gold but touch us like flesh which has become Words. Kelly Cherry is a poet who has risen above the rabble.
