I had a difficult time enjoying the short poems of this collection because of the text layout (I had to add the dots so it would display properly, there are no dots in the text, it's just tabbed out):this is how the.................short poems are writtenand it is very.................distracting to me forsome reason.................but I am sure I am justtoo dull to get.................the deeper meaningbut to me it.................seems pointless andarbitrary.However, the longer poems (the odes) are absolutely amazing. Gibbons' ruminations on seemingly quotidian happenings in his life are quite moving - especially one called 'Ode to Citizens'. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

In Creatures of a Day, Reginald Gibbons presents intense encounters with everyday people amidst the historical and social contexts of everyday life. His poems are meditations on memory, obligation, love, death, celebration, and sorrow. Some of them show how the making of poetry itself seems inextricably enmeshed with personal encounter and with history. This new collection includes five odes woven from interactions with others, thirteen shorter poems, and "Fern-Texts," a kind of biographical and autobiographical essay in syllabic verse on the parallel decades of the English 1790s and the American 1960s. Using quotations from the notebooks of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "Fern-Texts" interweaves the dilemmas of love, ethics, and political engagement in Coleridge's life when he was in his twenties and in the poet's own life when, at the same age, he lived in California. Ranging from poems of witness to paradoxical speculations, from the personal intimacy of love and death to the broad scope of historical turmoil, Creatures of a Day is an unusual, powerful collection.
