5.0 étoiles sur 5 "Its English plunges into my heart like a small black bird..." 8 octobre 2012
Par Nina L. - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Format Kindle
As Donaldson writes in the Forward, Pollock is a map maker and a wanderer -- but Pollock's writing is so steeped with a sense of presence and observation that in no way do you ever feel lost or unsure of his North. Beautiful prose -- this is poetry you could read again and again because it speaks to the beautiful spaces between love and loss, mystical or mythical and the everyday, longing and living, leaving and arriving, moving and being still.

5.0 étoiles sur 5 Journeys--far out and deep within 11 juillet 2012
Par Thomas F. Dillingham - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Broché|Achat authentifié par Amazon
James Pollock's poetic voice is distinctive and personal; even in a dramatic monologue, such as his
fascinating "Glenn Gould on the Telephone," we accept the voice of the persona as Gould, but we hear
the underlying sounds of Pollock's sympathetic and familiar voice. His narratives, some based on accounts
of explorers' experiences in wilderness and arctic wastes, some emerging from intimate and tightly focused
family memories ("Radio," "A Weekend in Vienna"), offer insights into the meaning of journey, of quest,
of travel as an art--the art of describing travel as universal human experience, whether moving out
away from home and the familiar (as in the two poems named "Northwest Passage") or seeking within
(as in the somewhat enigmatic "Ex Patria).

Pollock's volume culminates (and is masterfully summed up) in the beautiful narrative of a day
exploring the woods with his young son--"Quarry Park: Madison, Wisconsin"--written in a flexible
and entirely effective terza rima that sustains the movement of the poem while allowing the narrative
to stop for moments of insight and reflection as well as racing forward toward the next discovery.
To a great extent, these poems are about art--about the relation of art to the meanings and values
of human life; they are never art for art's sake, however, nor do they suggest (as some such poems
do) that art is all that is important. Quite the contrary, art is at the service of the quest for
meaning and relationships, for the affirmation of life. This is a volume that should be read,
and surely will reward many readings and re-readings.

5.0 étoiles sur 5 Gorgeous, Highly Readable Poems that read kind of like a novel 9 juillet 2012
Par Cj Pellatt - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Format Kindle
As you read the poems in this book of highly readable literary poems, you soon realize that the book as a whole is a story, it takes you on a journey, draws you in deeper, like a novel. The experience of reading it is like the best conversation you've ever had with another intelligence. another sensibility. Stunniing, crystal clear lines and images will linger in your mind long after you close the book. All this and a mastery of form that is so subtle you hardly notice it, you only feel its effects.

The kind of poetry that can bring people back to reading poetry. As Jeffrey Donaldson says in the introduction, poems that will be read in 100 years. Be one of the first to discover.Sailing to Babylon - Poems
