Book Details
Reviews for The Stream
by Pamela Stewart
Poised between the conversational and the lyrical, Don Moyer's poems offter depth, skill, music, a curious mind, but not artifice. These poems are direct, challenging, smart and often thoroughly beautiful: dogs, kids, Chinese food, disability, poverty, what thrives, what fails -- all indicate "The world's more alive than we may believe."
Sample from The Stream
The First Blue Day of Spring
God throws open His huge right hand
and sparrows pour through spring.
"If a little time is left,
it is only a last scrap."
But sweet, so close to bone.
Our luck still holds today -
God hasn't opened
His left.
"People wanting poems
continue to clamor
all day long,"
Yuan-mei wrote,
250 years ago.
They still clamor, but not for poems.
God, poet, or magician -
you need to watch both hands.
Again
God opens
His huge right hand;
again
a thousand sparrows lift.
