Description: Karl Patten's Touch gathers poems, both lyrical and reflective, manifesting the primacy of the senses in human experience. Whether the subject be love, desire, dream, nature, or the brutalities and injustices of life, Patten's poems engage the reader by their urgency of emotion and clarity of language, and by the mature perspective and humor of the poet himself.
