Paterson An Allegory

mosaic of prose &poems interleaved intense obtuse oblique: an epic satire in words of a place: beauty &poverty its elemental character, a reality of restraint &impotentcy expressed in a language of variable feet, a shift of style in fragments of three: a winter of death before death.. a polluted river... stagnates and yet... ....see a green branch buds from an old tree with vitality: a change in mood rather than measure... ...love and ...imagination... the essence of life

Brian may I ask? Why are most of your poems uncommented on? Just reading one should make the reader gasp, and surely make a comment. You've won contests but no one even suggest in comment how good these are. Brian I have found my old self; and I don't mean that in disrespect. We chose the path we want to travel. Your path is a good one Brian.
