Seven - Paperback

by David Wolf (Author)

Seven is a rich and complex collection of poetry by noted US poet, David Wolf. The title refers to the seven voicings or personas that make up the collection. Remarkably, the different voicings of the poems are conspicuously distinct and treat of different experiences and perspectives, but the seven sections unite to create a unified work.

Wolf's poetry is intriguing and challenging, but not obscure; deeply personal and intense, but also veined with humor and sympathy. The poetry is rich in imagery and simultaneously dense and playful in meaning. This is an important collection, and one to enjoy reading and re-reading.
