Review

These beautifully written superb poems are full of deep insights. An impressive creative energy and lyrical force characterizes his poetic masterpiece. The opening lines of the poem CITADEL 17 capture much of the depth of his poetry: "Silent cries / cells and boats / migrants cross / grim gulfs". The inspiration of David Stone has created some fine fruits of highly intense and emotional poetry. His great strength lies in the fertile imagination with which he is able to acquire a finality of grace and dignity in his poems: "the yawns of babies /and yachts towed / out to sea for / missile practice", "a troubadour's yells /the scent of tobacco / breached heaven's / unobserved fork". In intellectual power, and in intensity of true emotion, David Stone is one of the greatest poets the contemporary world has known.
