In poetry that is spare, seductive, and visually compelling, Ralph Mills observes the natural world around him. Each poem here has a freshness and clarity that is like watching leaves flutter in the breeze. The combination of the poet's intense observations of nature and his daring use of line fragments conveys an elegant, concentrated emotional power.

About this title

Synopsis

Ralph Mills shows himself once again a master of the finely-tuned poem in his newest collection. Spare, seductive, and visually compelling, Mills observes the natural world around him with intensity. His is a poetry of perception, almost always viewed from indoors. His words describe sights and sounds, and his daring fine line fragments evoke the particulars of our existence. Each poem in Mill's new collection retains a freshness and clarity much like the experience of watching leaves in the sun, or clouds--the same, but always different. The intensity of the observation and brevity of form constitute a highly refined emotional elegance.
