This collection is a craft class. Lessons in the how to of poetry, yes, and also the why, the what, the whom.

I feel like anything I say about this book wouldn’t do it justice. I had the good fortune to take a poetry workshop with Rick Barot at a conference and his poetry is a teacher, which probably explains why he is such a wonderful teacher. Anyway, I recommend this collection and it is one I will come back to again and again.

what's visible isn't always superior
to what can't be seen, like ideas proven only
by poor means, as though the invisible
were a ventroloquist saying something important
with his mouth shut.
- From "Black Canvas"
Art, family, diaphonous memories ~ really enjoyed this collection by Barot, and I will seek out his other work.
Highlights of the collection:
Looking at the Romans
Black Canvas
The Documents of Spring
Brown Refrigerator
The Man with the Crew-Cut
