Review # 1 was written on 2012-10-28 00:00:00 Jimmie D King From The Clay Hill Anthology Selected Haiku Why speak of the use of poetry? Poetry is what uses us. ------- From Scrambled Eggs & Whiskey Ecstasy For years it was in sex and I thought this was the most of it so brief a moment or two of transport out of oneself or in music which lasted longer and filled me with the exquisite wrenching agony of the blues and it is equally transitory and obscure as I sit in my broken chair that cats have shredded by the stove on a winter night with wind and snow howling outside and I imagine the whole world at peace at peace and everyone comfortable and warm the great pain assuaged a moment of the most shining and singular sensual gratification.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-03-22 00:00:00 Gaillard Herv� Personal stuff, so you get to know Hayden quite well -- married to a woman a generation younger, lost his daughter to cancer, anti-war in every way, New England Yankee writer/poet. Some of the poem read too conversational. Liked it best when he turned his gaze away from the diary and out to nature. Best was one about loons -- difficult to capture in a poem. But he comes close. Very, in fact!
