Download or read book Summer in September and Other Poems written by David J. Murray and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2016-06-02 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer and early fall of 2015, the warmest September ever recorded in Toronto, a widow and a widower made an unusual connection. Following their meeting for the first time as single people, the pair began visiting each other, either at his place in Toronto or at her place in the Quebec countryside. They also travelled as sightseers to Montreal and to Kingston and attended a wedding at a vacation resort. Summer in September and Other Poems emerged from that connection, a collection of poetry written from the widower to his friend and including several poems written by her in response. Featuring ten topical sections, these verses recall the poets deceased spouses, consider their various travels both together and separately and explore ideas of romance, nature, old age, praise and sleep. Short and compelling, the poems of this collection offer an intriguing view of romance following grief. Surfacing Socializing here, alone, was fun, But Ive been impatient to have it over and done And let my undermind, obsessed with you, Surface at last, lucid, untrammeled and true, Until it vies with the hillscape I see here In producing sonic colours, pure and clear.

Book excerpt: "Fresh from the publication of his welcome collected poems (The Owl in the Mask of the Dreamer, LJ 8/93), Alaska-based poet Haines here bravely presents uncollected poems from the period before the appearance of his first volume, Winter News (1966). Although it is possible to discern in these lines the influences of such poets as Robinson Jeffers and Edgar Lee Masters, as well as that of William Carlos Williams, to whom the young Haines first sent these poems, he early developed his own way. These are the works of a young poet?and a young man (as evidenced by the prosodic and emotional awkwardness of "Admission" or "On a Point of Departure"), but there is an uncommon excitement in hearing Haines's mature voice already fully emergent by the end of the volume, as in "Verse" or "Two Horses, One by the Roadside." Haines's poems, characterized by a spartan lyricism and a distinctive, unshowy intelligence, ought to satisfy fastidious and inexperienced readers alike."--Graham Christian, Library Journal.

They began a collaboration in verse, creating collections of poetry together that form a unique and intriguing conversation. Interchange and Other Poems, Murray’s 13th poetry collection and the 3rd in this series, weaves together many different components of life using the thread of interchanging communication to enrich and maintain a mutually acceptable relationship. Language and content combine beautifully as Murray blends concrete detail with abstraction. His mellifluous marriage of the tangible and the universal shows that stable relationships beneath the human experience when well maintained. These verses moves smoothly from one aspect of life to another, from one poem to the next, carried along by the constant undercurrent of the relationship’s recurring repair and renewal.
