These poems seem to have been made on an old workbench with simple tools by someone who has been making such things for a very long time.
William Gilson
In keeping with his previous poems, Burt Porter speaks to his longtime experience in the hills of Vermont, at once an observer and participant, with comforting familiarity and abundant curiosity. His remembrances and observations of the world around him are tinged with a tempered longing, yet embrace acceptance of the natural flow of things, in history, in nature, and in life. In traditional forms, Porters poems both ground the reader in the patience of witnessing day-to-day life while encouraging our imaginations to take flight.
