Robert Hedin is a poet of achieved sensibility. His heart has many chambers, and "contains multitudes." In this set especially, he establishes a frame for art that is so artful it is indivisible from life. The poems breathe like dark garden flowers, and each is real, necessary, and alive.

Wonderful prose poems that reveal startling incidents of everyday life to a family reunion to just getting through a day hoping that the delicate scale doesn't push it down into the floor. His poem on the great liners was also poignant. Excellent works!

Very nice! I like the way he arranges every word, gives them a meaningful body and creates a world of familiar scenes.
