Interdimensional Poetry for those who speak the language., February 4, 2005
This review is from: The Weave That Binds Us (Paperback)
Martin Burke's 'The Weave That Binds Us' explores humanity in a language so original it reads more like prophecy more than modern poetry. These are thoughts unrestrained by the weight of material reality. These are words that paint us a portrait of Consciousness and reveal the true masterpiece inside us.
'It will always be so-the heart, and the mind no less than the heart, nurturing itself there and draws life from and bow down in worship so as to say I have seen, I believe I live accordingly still sailing those waters, the boat nearing the islands and the harbours coming into view speaking their invitations in a language of sunlight and water and stone the eternal speaking in a tangible tongue a homeland which is its own precedent where the heart bows down where the soul bows down where the urge to speak begins and ends in the rites of admiration.'
The poetry of Martin Burke is seamless, each line flowing like water to the next. His mastery of language paralleled by the depths of his insight and understanding. Any serious reader of poetry will appreciate this work of art. And if you have never read poetry, 'The Weave That Binds Us' is the perfect place to start. - Chad Lilly (on Twitter @icpchad)
