Relationship related and other poetry By Anthony B. Ashe Price: $12.95 On Sale: 11/18/06 | | Relationship related and other poetry is an example of what can happen artistically when the serious academic study of an art form becomes wedded to street wisdom and cultural maturity. As a poet, Ashe exhibits evidence of being experienced in poetic forms as widely variant as Haiku and Villanelle with suggestions of whatever there is that might be included in between. At the same time, though, that we experience his tendency toward classic meter and rhythm we are moved by the way that he unaffectedly revels in reality while simultaneously taking us on a journey into the fantastic. This is poetry that is political, yet personal enough to allow the reader an avenue by which to connect to the subject matter. This is truly poetry that is related to relationships in every sense that those words convey. |
