His new collection WHERE IMAGES BECOME IMBUED WITH TIME is a moving example of how poetry can bring them all together in a synthesis of trees, crops, the universe, airplanes, gears, history and industry, sea birds and land animals, rusted iron and surgical knives. Since this is a rare synthesis, except for Whitman's and Crane's attempts, it deserves a careful reading by those who have a serious interest in the poetic art. Witness this splendid line -- "A dust mote upon a string played obbligato between galaxies".
