Adveniat, haiku of John Martone

$20.00

Categories: ,

Description

Adveniat has an austere quality (which much of your work does), and a feeling of verbal chiaroscuro, reminiscent of Vermeer’s handling of light. There are a variety of foci — religious intimation, personal and impersonal elements relating to others, and the evocation of a spartan, life, all of which intermingle in the context of the collection.
The traditional format lends a feeling of monastic simplicity — a quiet acceptance of an order in a world where there are other possibilities.
Though there are several standout poems, it is as an ensemble that they all work best — the best thing that can be said for any collection.

One thing at a time
I drive past rows of
Amish laundry

                    Snowbound fields
                    reaching out
                    I repeat myself

          I don’t know
          who’s cutting our names
          into the headstone
