5.0 out of 5 stars
Poetry lives!,
By Giordano Bruno (Wherever I am, I am.) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ode to the Chinaberry Tree and Other Poems (Hardcover)
Jim Applewhite appears as a protagonist in V. S. Naipaul's Turn In The South. That's where I first encountered his poetry. I rushed to amazon.com, only to find that most of his works are out-of-print but miraculously available. Chinaberry Tree is the first collection to arrive in my hands, and it seems that I've waited a long time - years - for a lyric poet of Applewhite's skill and zest to emerge from my own generation. He's the heir to Jarrell and Roethke. He puts LANGUAGE back in poetry and poetry back in English. I won't encumber this recommendation with analysis of his themes. Read him for the pleasure of it.
