About this title

Synopsis

Peter Meinke is one of the most readable poets.  The surface clarity of his lines and his aptness for metaphor make these poems accessible and mysterious.  They have real subjects - Dessert Storm and acorns, coffee and Tolstoy -  but at the same time give entry to that interior world where all feelings and moralities grow.
