SPHERICAL

SPHERICAL by DAH
reviewed by Godfrey Logan


“We are / like / rocks
held in
knuckle-tight agony

Sealed inside:
high pitched squeals.
/ Shuddering hearts / “

 (from Rocks)

It is the nature of poets to turn within when,
without examination, we are certain to repeat our follies.

The poem, “Eden” is illustrative of this:

“Earth:
to say, it is crumbling  
to say, it is broken

Once, there was earth
as two syllables: Eden”

DAH is precise in his contemplation, and so he reflects:

“O humanness:

between that eternity
and this space
 / between that sky
and this earth,

is everything / really / one?

(from Boundaries)

These metaphysical micro-poems are prescient
in the present time lest we seek to repeat our follies.

Reflecting, not so much on matter but, on a universe that
we are unsure of as to our part in it, and skeptical as to
who or what is driving it. This is the genius of DAH’s
ninth poetry book, “SPHERICAL”, from Argotist Press, 2019.
