The wonderful title poem, saved for last, is a syncopated memory of his 1950s youth, when he jumped into a police car stolen by ‘two young women’—‘the fall and precipice … that in the span of my life has never touched down.’ He was thrown out before the women were caught, but came to lead an adult life of ‘business flights,’ while craving ‘anything that lasts longer than a few minutes of escape.’”</p> <p><strong>DeWitt Henry</strong> recommends <em>Wintering Over: Poems</em>, by Susannah Lee (Finishing Line Press, 2024). “An impressive first collection, well-researched, imagined, and deeply lyrical both in voicing—‘Carmelite sisters (nine nuns, two novices and one postulant to be exact), who were relocated from Iceland to northern Norway, high above the Arctic Circle,’—and with poems reflecting the poet’s self, spirit, and relations to nature in rural western Massachusetts.”</p> <p><strong>DeWitt Henry</strong> recommends <em>Some Things I Said</em>, by David Ferry (Grolier Poetry Press, 2023). “Framed in tributes from family and admirers, the poet and translator’s final poem summarizes his oeuvre. Earlier poems are printed on left hand pages in black, and the poet’s ‘I was the one who said …’ excerpts appear in orange on facing, right hand pages. Grainy black and white photos by Ferry’s son appear on covers, frontispiece, midway, and at the very end. The overall effect is proud and poignant.”</p> <p><strong>Robert Pinsky</strong> recommends <em>The Blue Mimes</em>, by Sara Daniele Rivera (Graywolf Press, 2024). “These lucid, balletic poems <strong>[End Page 211]</strong> engage realities, including grief and laughter, and sometimes both at once, made all the more attractive by thinking and feeling in two languages and multiple cultures.”</p> <p><strong>Robert Pinsky</strong> recommends <em>Eggtooth</em>, by Jesse Nathan (Unbound Edition Press, 2023). “With its innovative, tuneful way of writing lines and a fresh, compelling way to understand immigration, ethnicity, American landscape, this book leaps beyond conventions and soars above stereotypes. Truly original, and fun to read.”</p> <p><strong>Gary Soto</strong> reco","PeriodicalId":39567,"journal":{"name":"PLOUGHSHARES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141614311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
