No Tear Is Commonplace

By Stanley Moss

The poems gathered in this collection from distinguished poet Stanley Moss stage a passionate, curious, and often combative relationship with the world and the forces that shape human life and death. Moss's range is wide: his poetry recalls the Adirondack wilderness of childhood summers, imagines a young Christ learning carpentry, and reflects on the tragedies of 20th-century Europe in a style that concerns itself less with rhyme than with diction and less obvious metrical patterns. What ultimately shines through is the poet's commitment to the fullness of human experience in the present.
