Odd Fussings

By Lawrence Cottrell

Poetry. A bittersweet, poetic memoir by a senescent man glancing back along tracks erasing, scents dissipating, who imparts to us from memory's ravels and rags the sad and happy silhouettes of his encounter with the kiss and cuff of seasons. From this collection's first poem, 'Some Old Tale, ' where 'life fumbles with death's bodice like a lover, ' to the last, 'Ancient Fires, ' when the author says his pilgrimage was 'fat with witchings, delicious with ghouls, soul's gate hung on mystic hinges, ' there's an unflinching measure of loss and a covenant with grace, and, always, a fierce romance with brooks and ghosts and braes, a metrical come-hither into flown and fleeting days. --Lawrence Cott
