Torch Lake & Other Poems

THE MOST LYRICAL POEMS (mostly in prose) that I have read in years. A silver-tongued ?I? with little concern for itself, so wakeful and watchful is it embodied, and so attuned to its bounty of fabulous perceptions. A first collection brought to a nearly translucent state of shine. ?C. D. WRIGHT TORCH LAKE & OTHER POEMS is the most original and exciting collection given American poetry since Larry Levis? Elegy. There?s more juice, scope, imagination and sheer vitality in this work than in twenty run-of-the-mill collections. ?GRAY JACOBIK
