Roads Joseph Spece 9781625490100 Books Reviews
I've got a few of Spece's poems framed on my wall that I cut out from magazines--and I'm glad there's now a book to keep on my nightstand.
Hannah Fries of Orion Magazine gives a beautiful and faithful review of the poems in this book ". . . these are the poems of an intensely curious soul, a poet steeped in myth and letters, brimming with passion for the world and for the life of the mind . . ."
To come across "Roads" at a time when so often "anything goes" is to chance upon something immensely altering, original, and forceful in its vision. There is no ambivalence in the architecture of this poet's creation. These are poems that assert themselves and the world without apology, poems of deep desire and courage, poems channeling Nature's vast organic kingdom. You will find no Cult of the Personality here, no trend aesthetics, nothing less than the work of a tirelessly inquisitive mind devoted tooth and claw to its craft.
Though most of the current poetry I read is in magazines or on the web, I can say - after a week with this 'Sphinx' of a book - that there are 10-15 poems in ROADS that are beyond anything contemporary out there, poems that are Shakespearean in the way that they reveal the machine behind the curtain, make music, or open up the sky (it sounds like I'm exaggerating, but trust me) "the quiet / credit of our kind" or "Returned to the grace of requital, I / refuse to admit the compare" or "The season of night is a brink / that may yet manage a moment of good" or "I alone could remark / on the hulking fish that met / the morning's cool gambit." I wish I had the line "To exist is in this wind" about 8-9 years ago to sew up my teenage angst. I think this is BIG poetry, something you read not just to enjoy, but because it might change you. Some of my favorites "To Melville," "The Owl Alights," "Event," "Mind," "Elegy," "Lucifer, Falling," "Lycanthropy," "Roads," and "Chimera and the Ages," which is most Shakespearean, because something about it effects me on a level that I can't quite understand. The final sentence in the last line of "Roads" is EVERYTHING. More books, please.
