Like an Astonished Magician: Poems

By Jack Preston King

Like an Astonished Magician I picture God scratching his head as the cosmos BigBangs! into being, the best 4th of July ever. Let There Be Light! simply doesn't do it justice. It's his trick, so he knows how he fooled the cheering crowd. Still, he has to admit he's impressed. Even he is oohing and aahing, authentically astonished. Was that hidden in his hat the whole time? From the pleasures of mature love ( While ember kisses/stirred between two lifetimes twined in love/and years, those romance doesn't know about ), to Yeats-inspired Celtic witchery, to visions of angels, flying saucers, and meeting yourself in a dream, Like an Astonished Magician is a no-downer, zero-navel-gazing poetic celebration of love, life, the imagination, and, of course, magic .
