Star Signs: New and Selected Poems is a marvelous book packed with the most beautifully descriptive poems about a wide variety of different topics that are grouped together under the following four sections which indicate their overarching theme: Lights Across the Sky, Distant Legends & Metaphors, Transmutation of Earthy Elements and Seasons, Days and Years. <\/em>The poet\u2019s use of language is rich and theatrical as is illustrated by the following short extracts:<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cAccomplishments seem possible<\/em>
\nbefore dawn<\/em>
\nconcentric choices are unlimited\u201d “<\/em>The lively sonata of midday skies<\/em>
\nresponds to the muted notes of night skies.<\/em>
\nTime is temporal. Immeasurable.\u201d <\/em>\u201cMy jewelry box embraces<\/em>
\nyesterday\u2019s vanishing dreams<\/em>
\nfavourite obsessions \u2013 polished and hidden.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This quote is from one of my favourite poems in this collection: Sleeping Beauties.<\/em>The poems are mainly written in free verse but there are a number that are pantoums, a form of poetry which makes use of repeating lines throughout the poem. It is composed of a series of quatrains; the second and fourth lines of each stanza are repeated as the first and third lines of the next stanza. I am in awe of the poet\u2019s ability to create poems that form a perfect story using this style of poems. The repeated lines lead effortlessly into the new lines, which support them and continue the flow and rhythm of the words seamlessly.<\/em><\/div>\n
