Slim volume worth its weight in gold, January 26, 2009
This review is from: Town Life: Poems (Paperback)
Some years ago, the "Modern Poerty Association" published the flagship poem of this wonderful writer's book, "Town Life." Jay Parini lifts us to see the sublime in the ordinary and invites us to look and listen to the wonder of our ordinary lives.
Having mislaid the issue that contained this poem,I fell upon the author's email address and wrote to him asking where I might find this work. He was crossing the Atlantic at the time, but took a moment to reply that Amazon.com would be the best source and to thank me for my interest.
Jay Parini is one of those writers that lures us toward reacquainting ourselves with poetry and lets us open our senses to what we enjoyed but have perhaps lost in a "dot.com" world. Kudos to Amazon.com for retaining this fine work.
