Wind Is a Blind Man Tapping

This collection, with its dwelling internal monologue, opens with poems that portray the torments of the inner self. If the section requires a unifying philosophy, it seems to be found in the words of Henry David Thoreau: "Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?" The reader is rescued from this history, both personal and indirect, by the extravagances encountered in landscapes. Book Two is a celebration of life and friendship. There are rich, primitive vistas where old memories are conjured and the celebration of life is renewed. Stephen Saul's collection comes to a close with a book of images. It is an avant-garde imagism, if you will, which has its roots in, but is not limited by, the imagism of Ezra Pound.Grider, Stephen is the author of 'Wind Is a Blind Man Tapping ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781413766141 and ISBN 1413766145.
