Sun Under Wood

Rating:
Summary: He's graduated to be in the old-guy poet pantheon
Review: More nature stuff than I remember from "Praise," which I rarely understand the point of. It seems an overly romantic view of the world. Whereas in "Praise" he was a young man in the midst of life, here he has stepped back away from it and is commenting on it from a distance. He seems more resigned than before as to what life brings and is not fighting for happiness. I guess it's the difference between Praising life for whatever it brings and being a sun under wood!

Good things:

There is an amazing transcription from Frida Kahlo.

He also can get more into different characters that are not him, than I remember him doing in "Praise," which is the only other book of his I have read.
