park&alley, haiku of Guy Nesom

Description

For all the self-abnegating humor (the author wrote his own blurbs (under pseudonyms) with such “praise” as “an honest attempt” and “some of these have interesting words”), this is a remarkably poised first volume, with poignancy to match the whimsy, and a felt keenness for nature throughout. There is also evidence that the poet has paid attention to his antecedents, some of whom are honored within these pages.

a bend in the creek
with my fingers

                    Orion cloaked in light . . .
                    the city afraid
                    of the dark

          half
          are sure I’m right . . .
          take your pick
