Pollen, Salt, & Chimes: New Poems & Others

By Kurt Heinzelman

Book Overview

"Rich and inventive, Kurt Heinzelman's poems are funny, serious, and everything in between, often all at once ... always a pleasure.""

-Lawrence Raab, author of April at the Ruins

"Heinzelman's poems consistently possess the qualities of music and intelligence."

-Steven Weinberg, Nobel Laureate in Physics, author of To Explain the World

"Heinzelman creates a poetry of place with an unerring eye and ear for the ways that landscape can be mapped in the twists and turns of language."

-Michael Davidson, author of Ghostlier Demarcations

"These poems travel; each 'road spills / its cargo of hooks.' What a thrill to discover this etymology of place, of self."

-Susan B. A. Somers-Willett, author of The Cultural Politics of Slam Poetry

"Kurt Heinzelman writes a restless, free-ranging poetry, rarely repeating a form or approach ... ballads, Pindaric odes, sonnets, ekphrastic poems, short lyrics, one-sentence poems, and long, elastic sequences, all handled with remarkable skill and ease."

-Brian Barker, author of The Black Ocean and Vanishing Acts
