Show and Tell: New and Selected Poems by Jim Daniels

4.0

Jim Daniels is a straightforward poet. His language is simple, his writing accessible, and a lot of his poems are little narratives. It's not normally my favorite type of poetry to read, but this collection is effective and engaging because of Daniel's strong, wise, narrative and poetic voice. Whether it's blue collar life or universal milestones of adolescence, Daniels paints his landscapes well enough for any reader to feel as though they're sitting in the middle of them.
