Synopsis:
Carson's lean, spare collection unflinchingly engages hard ideas of beauty, of goodness. Direct and often colloquial in their language and traditional in their forms -- blank verse, quatrains, sonnets -- the poems' voices arise from a wide range of viewpoints and situations: from an altar boy thawing a frozen gate lock while early Mass goes on without him, to a returning Vietnam veteran who takes up bull riding. Refreshingly straightforward, yet suffused with weight, maturity, and passion, The Keeper's Voice projects a wise and uncompromising vision.
About the Author: Mike Carson was the first holder of the Melvin M. Peterson Chair in English Literature at the University of Evansville, where he teaches medieval and Renaissance English, specialising in Shakespeare and Milton. His poems have appeared in many journals, including the Southern Review, Five Points, and the New Virginia Review.
