DANCE, DANCE, DANCE: THE DANCE OF LIFE!, April 26, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Victims of the Latest Dance Craze (Paperback)
What a wonderful book. As he did in The Autobiography of a Jukebox, Eady envelops us in a world we will all recognize and yet he makes us look at it with a new set of eyes. This book is devoted to exploring the dance of life, many times in the form of anaphora. This lends a musical grace to these poems. You find yourself returning to these poems again and again. The poems themselves take us from a piano concert to a sort of ode to a ballet dancer to a couple planning their new house and beyond. A transcendent book of poetry. In The Woman Who Dances With God, he writes "Let's assume that when we die/Our souls go to heaven/That places a high premium/On asthetic values." Let's hope Eady's poems meet us a heaven's gate!
