The Land Stacks Up
by Preston Newman, illustrated by Robert Turner, Jr |
- A “Pick of the Month” for May 1994 by
Small Press
Review, these poems are personal, musical,
frequently humorous, and always reflect his love of nature
and the people, especially including Native Americans.
|
- Although many of these poems express their author's love
of Southwestern Virginia and its peoples -- "The Alleghany
Woman," others -- "Galileo Goes to War" or "The Atom" --
illustrate the anguish of World War II or his admiration for
jazz singers or other poets -- "Warm in the Wax," "Three Men
of Jazz," "A Rose for Nikki Giovanni." Much of Newman's
poetry is sardonic or funny -- "The Indians in the Movies
Say 'Ugh'" "Appa-Latch-ia" -- but there's a serious if not
angry indictment of discrimination and war and insensitivity
along with the humor. A poet you'll return to again and
again.
