The Truth in Dissonance

By Jean L. Kreiling

Here are sonnet sequences, villanelles, tanka, haiku, the rondeau, the ghazal, the triolet, the devilishly difficult ovillejo-even a carmina figurata! And yet Jean Kreiling's poems do not shout "Look at me!" They quietly direct the reader's attention to insights into our emotional lives: how a son most resembles his father when he is angry with his father; how in our daydreams we never lose our keys; how "you never know until the smashing / that something's made of plaster." Carefully designed to convey such modest truths, these poems are made to last. -Alfred Nicol
