Description

The poems in Zachariah Wellss second collection range from childhood to dimly foreseen events in the future; they idle on all three of Canadas coasts, travel the open road, take walks in the city and pause on the banks of country streams and ponds.Zach Wells has built on an aesthetic generally characterized by an assertive (even, at times, severe) approach to metre that is enhanced by an ardent attention to sonic effects like alliteration, syncopation, rhyme, etc., and his control over such a severe metre is both admirable and remarkable.Paul VermeerschEverything poetry should be: reflective and linguistically aware, imagistic, connected to human emotion and experience. But, wait, I forgot, delightful.FreefallWithin each poem, the words fit together in surprising ways, with subtle rhyme, rhythm and alliteration There are layers to these poems, unexpected things beneath the surface.Pickle Me This
