Winter 2006-2007 Poetry Selections
Edited by Charles H. Johnson
Another year begins as winter settles into colder, darker days.
Yet, the poems in our Winter 2006-2007 collection brighten the forecast
with word music reminding us of the light and warmth of an approaching
spring.
We're reminded of the rejuvenating power of language by our featured
poet, Alison Eastley, when she writes about a relationship in “Boundary
Stones #2,” “The words cut deep into the stone / lashed
by wind. …”
All of the poets represented here use words to carve beauty from
the rocky landscape of life, which at this time of year is walled
in by the weight of winter’s relentless onslaught.
