We Will Give Each Other Poems
By Sidney
Hall, Jr. The
poems of What We Will Give Each Other use clear, logical language, and a classical
artistry to explore profound ideas and emotions. In this they validate a remark
made by Valéry: "There is nothing so mysterious as clarity."
David
Baker says, "Guided sometimes by an Oriental compression and serenity, sometimes
by a Classical irony and learnedness, and nearly always by the practicality and
patience of New England ruralism, the poems of What We Will Give Each Other accrue
into a book of surprising depth, variety, and passion." This
limited edition original paperback, beautifully designed and printed on fine papers
is an example of the kind of book a small publisher can do best. It is a pleasure
to hold, and also makes a perfect gift.
