From Library Journal
Wrigley's poetry is concentrated like fruit in a mason jar"the yolky peaches, wine cherries,/ the cool lunar lobes of the pears." Many poems respond to "The Secret Life in Every Standing Thing"including termites, nightcrawlers, fireflies, etc.evoking (as Marianne Moore's poems did) the otherworldliness of the ordinary. Their force resides in the poet's compassion for his subject: an owl"white/ and blazing with moonlight"snatching up a kitten; a man's heart attack as he tosses his child in the air; a young boy after a car accident "ambling barefoot through the jeweled debris,/ glass slitting little bloodstars" in his soles. Wrigley conveys magical moments of perception when life holds us in a "fierce and powerful grip." Frank Allen, Assoc. Dean, Continuing Education, Allentown Coll., Center Valley, Pa.
