Too Much Happens

By Kathleen Weaver

Poetry. California Interest. "TOO MUCH HAPPENS is a collection that mingles personal and major social concerns in an attempt to give voice to a sense of increasing fear for a cherished world in crisis. Catastrophic wars, child soldiers, dried lake beds, the relentless onslaught of bad news. 'What shall we do with what we know?' TOO MUCH HAPPENS poses a question for which no answer is clear in a world skirting a perilous edge. 'Days, slaves to the sun, / the sun herds them into shadows. // A valley fills with traveled light / and snowmelt.' Once you step in between these lines, you know you've reached home: heart- and-mind, the body-and soul of why poetry matters. Nearly one of a kind, Kathleen Weaver lyrically weaves love and social awareness with language. To a cyber-bashed, corporatized, red-lit planet prison, her bright voice rejoices in green-lights.'"
