Swept Away: Collected Poems

By Gerry Sütter

At the intersection of music and meaning, of a song and the throat that is singing, of emotion and discipline, affection and tragedy-there lies a neighborhood called poetry.

Sometimes there are horns blaring with impatient crowds. Sometimes silence sweeps in solitude like a memory that is just out of reach. Sometimes there is a duet swept away by two lovers grasping for something grander than each other. Sometimes friends discover harmonies answering questions hinted at in between.

This collection follows the six-decade trail of Gerry S tter from a hippie in the Sixties through his current pursuit of ordination. Increasingly, he has followed in the footsteps of metaphysical poets Herbert and Donne. No matter what path you might meander in this book, structured verse has no more canny pursuer. There are 19 essays, most of which were introductions to phases of his work and 244 poems that are his finest.
