In these poems, the soft-spoken Peter Newton offers us discoveries of an uncommon life alone in nature or among others. Every poem reveals a moment of synchrony or an irony from beyond. Every page is an open door.
Description
“Peter Newton’s new collection of haiku and senryu opens with the words “in the right light,” and it is this poet’s art to bring the right light — the light of his empathetic perception — to bear on an extensive range of moments, inner and outer, intimate and grand. We share the view from “the window seat / where I grew up;” we are granted “a front row seat / to the mountain trees;” and we join the haiku poet “sitting on a rock / feeling how it feels.” We inhabit a moment of “not speaking / the language / of waterfalls,” and we are left wondering if there is any language this poet does not speak.”
— Bill Kenney
