From The Meadow: Selected And New Poems

by Peter Everwine

Overview

"His poems are timeless, lyrical songs that transcend the dark forces of our society and call for a deeper understanding of our values. Becoming familiar again with old poems by a gifted master is like reliving the days when poetry truly came from the heart to ravish and define who we are." --Bloomsbury Review "These exquisite poems are so well paced that nothing ever seems forced or misplaced." --Library Journal "[Everwine] presents us with poetry in which each moment is recorded, laid bare, and sanctified, which is to say the poems posses a quality one finds only in the greatest poetry." --Ploughshares
