John Eppel Considers Groundwork by Rustum Kozain, Compares it to Kelwyn Sole’s Absent Tongues
John Eppel has written a review of Groundwork by Rustum Kozain for SLiPNet.
Eppel compares Groundwork to Kelwyn Sole‘s poetry collection, Absent Tongues, and wonders whether a new school of poetry is forming around these two poets:
One of the images from Kelwyn Sole’s poetry collection, Absent Tongues, which lingers in my mind, is that of the garden spray:
Late-rising moon:
a sprinkler, forgotten,
sighs to and fro
across the lawn
(“Poems of the Sea for Me”)Consequently I was intrigued to see that Rustum Kozain also uses this image:
while outside the sprinklers
drizzle softly in the garden
(“The Adoration of Cats”)
