Poetry should live on the page, or if need be, die on the
page. Schlegel brings his poetry to life, and when necessary, to death on the
page. And he does so with great beauty and tenderness.
This collection of short poems will feed you. They will
bring smiles for the very beauty of his words. The images he evokes will, if
you're a poet, bring jealousy that he wrote the words, evoked the images, and
not you.
I had every intention of reading, and savoring, these poems
one at a time. To limit myself to one per night. Well, you know about
intentions and using them to pave certain highways – I gulped these poems over
three nights. Many I went back and re-read, then re-read them again.
I am delighted to have this book in my library, and look
forward to many evenings of reading it again. And again.
