'Intelligent and unpretentious Modern Poetry for intelligent, unpretentious and modern-minded people.'

Barn Swallow.

In groups: a mad woman's

hyperactive Tourette's

tearing at her hair;

her flailing fists,and rapid arm-weaving,

everywhere and nowhere;

alone: a Tartar's arrow-bolt ~

fletched with blue steel...

This masterful collection brings exquisite high-art poetry to ordinarily educated readers. Each poem comes with a set of explanatory notes, written by the author himself; and this edition also includes an informative essay to explain what makes free-verse successful. The few technical terms that are employed in the essay are clearly explained in an informative glossary.

Here is the poetry book for the 2020's.

At over two-hundred pages - the collection is more than twice the length of other poetry books. It is a sister publication of 'Rhyming Poetry for Today', yet also entirely self-standing.This is the book that will gently coach you to understand and enjoy both modern poetry and the highest artistic literature.
