Cathedral-Tree-Train and Other Poems

by Richard M. Elman

Cover of Cathedral-Tree-Train and Other Poems

Cathedral-Tree-Train is a brooding, unsentimental but loving elegy for the author's friend, abstract-expressionist painter Keith Sanzenbach. The net feeling is one of tremendous energy: it crackles with the energy of the subject matter and the focus required to write with clarity (and at moments, humor) through the foggy lenses of time, regret, bewilderment and loss. Highly recommended.
