From Booklist
Starck's new work is concerned with hard work and laborers. A former merchant seaman, ranch hand, Wall Street reporter, and construction foreman, Starck has seen much of the delicate balance between the work of the mind and the work of the body, and he builds each poem as a carpenter would a bookcase, mindful of both the framework's beauty and the task's ultimate purpose. Of a remodeling project, he writes, "I honor the man who taught me / the soul is a house / and you build it, / joining the wood, / driving the nails home." These poems celebrate not only work itself, but also the journeyman who can see, as Starck does, the sublime grace of hanging out at an auto parts store chatting about Chevies or of loose tools rattling in the back of the truck while he's driving by "white mist, black trees." Starck is an expert workman, building his original lines nail by nail, as it were. Elizabeth Gunderson
