In the Capital City of Autumn

By Tim Bowling

Book Overview

Tim Bowling is in top form in his latest collection of poetry, In the Capital City of Autumn.

Threading through autumnal themes such as the loss of his mother and the demolition of his childhood home, his children growing and the inevitable passage of time, Bowling writes with rich lyricism and imagery. Sweet William and loosely woven woollen mitts for his mother, the moon as "an egg in the pocket of a running thief" for time, salmon for eternity. In the Capital City of Autumn, the characters of The Great Gatsby come to life, and three a.m. brings wisdom. These are masterful poems, lightened with a touch of whimsy, poems to sink into on a quiet evening.
