Tilt / Hover / Veer Poetry Book by Codhill Press - Perfect for Poetry Lovers & Literary Enthusiasts

It is rare to come across a collection of poems that not only make you read and re-read them, but also keep making you look at them on the page. So much of this collection's beauty lies in the spaces and interstices that she builds -- yes, an architecture -- with each poem's portrait on the space of the paper. They breathe and murmur, jolt and cajole, and finally are resonantly powerful. 'To seek the tongues of inwardness / the slightest stir invites / a deeper listening /. Mary Newell's 'Tilt / Hover / Veer is aptly titled, as that is what you find yourself doing as you read these resonant, intelligent, and translucent poems -- you move with them. Taking 'in the pith of' as a primary (but not sole) beginning, these poems have in their brevity a wide expanse of attention and observation. Her vocabulary, unlike so many collections today is both luxurious and layered. This is a world of water, air, and earth -- and deeply, the human place in those things, bided by nature and its inhabitants -- small or large. These are poems of unfolding, of metamorphosis, and renewal. Illumination, light, and the geometry of the poems' skins -- circumference -- show us that 'Many pathways wind toward home'. Truly a collection to be read slowly, and often. -- Philip F. Clark, author of 'The Carnival of Affection.'
