Great poetry

And hell, I've never even met him

I don't know Barry Grimes. I know somebody who knows Grimes, though, and that's how I got ahold of This Green, which is, along with Kevin Miller's Everywhere Was Far, one of the two best titles that Blue Begonia has ever published. "Driving the Canyon Road" and "Letter to Miller Written with Rickie Lee Jones, Flying Cowboys, and Horses in Mind" are two of my favorite poems, full of what Grimes calls "the silence of no distinction." Everything is fair game here, everything on this green.And how can you not love a book whose epigraph is from a Greg Brown song?Thank you, Barry, for this one. I come back to it again and again.

eric must be a former student...breathe in the details of a life that has bumped into yours and then wonder of all the lives that could be...a lovely inch...

Excellent piece

Some would classify this work as a "5". That which reaches beyond the daily complications, and steps back to view the larger picture, assembling the details. Barry Grimes has done a superb job of detailing the passion of teaching and learning. Beautiful work!

This Green: A masterpiece!

Barry Grimes captures his life as a poetry and english teacher in Washington state, and his childhood perfectly, making you feel as if you are there! A must read!
