Blue Planet Memoirs

By Joseph Barrett

Poetry. Appalachia. "Imagine that all of life is something like a hangover: the mental haze, the regret, but still the memory of the vanished beatific high. Imagine the longing for health and comfort and love in the midst of knowing they are fleeting, perhaps illusory. Imagine that up and through languor and pain, momentarily, the clearest and brightest images suddenly arise like small fresh breezes through the smoke of mills and fires; imagine beat laments of loss and limping love, and moments of smoldering beauty alternating with haiku that tape their clear moments to the very front windows of the eyes. These poems: a soul before us, working its way with words and feelings through this blue planet we inhabit--its mountains, its cities, its hard times, its cherished ecstasies: alive again, here on the pages before us."--Richard Hague
