Show

Poetry. SHOW is the final work in the trilogy that also includes THE LARD BOOK and HAUL SONG (available from SPD). "[This trilogy] seems to belong to, to spring from and to cause the hearer to grapple with a very vital earth, the force and beauty barely singed by humans' passing. Its relationship to the human is that of an overpowering cull of the young poet to which comes the [rapturous] response of his song. It is participation and celebration and is a forging of a language suited to the power of context. This lively work demands to be read aloud"...[Fresh] juxtapositions of images, sensuous events, responses with often a permeating tenderness--aware of the fragility in human life and human love"--Carlyle Reedy.
