Blue Night: revised

By Larry Kimmel

"Blue Night is a master class in the prosody and expressive power of short poetry. Kimmel is a post-orientalist, able to draw on tanka, haiku, sijo and the balanced Chinese couplet whilst being beholden to none. This is fine writing, a long stride in the direction of a unified literature." -John Carley, renku poet and translator"Blue Night ... is not a linear experience. The gimbal-eyed poet sees clearly in the clutter and mess of his reality. This is a collection to be read over, from different angles and in different lights. It is well worth the read." -Denis M. Garrison, from a review in Modern English Tanka.Kimmel is a writer and poet I have time for ... discover] this author's wide range of subject matter, his fine use of language, and more importantly, the way he allows the form to grow through him, delivering to us his personal truths." -ai li, editor of the cherita
