Synopsis

Water is the unifying image of this book-length poem, the birthday ode of a man just turned thirty-five and still trying to see life steadily and see it whole. The poem itself is a whole, but within it Chappell uses a variety of poetic forms - free verse, rhymed couplets, blank verse, terza rima - that reflect the poet's manifold experience and the diversity of life itself.
