Synopsis
The 50-odd poems in Lines to an Old Apple Tree are gleanings from verse Luke Faust has been writing since boyhood. They not only are about apple trees and inchworms, but going to work and to church, looking at an empty glass, hoeing carrots, following the sea, and doing the laundry. Some rhyme, some don't; there are several sonnets, and a couple of "tanka." Some are only one line long. "It has to be truer than anything, or it isn't poetry; and not waste a word." There are one or two tugs at the heartstrings in this little volume which conceivably might be used as an outside reference in creative writing studies. With fresh analyses of Coleridge, Hopkins, Conrad, Japanese verse; one way to make your own poetry
