The Idler Wheel

By Avery E.D. Burns

love and death draw/ their own conclusions/ rather dispute the geometry/ of two individuals/ blended as one/ then part into none -- from THE IDLER WHEEL. Avery E.D. Burns possesses both a passion for his subject and a confidence in his technique that are rare in a younger poet. The 'fire in the head,' which makes language poetic and forces words to speak, drives this book beyond risk and reputation into a landscape that is, in Burn's view, firmly 'composed' and collectively intended. THE IDLER WHEEL is a book by a serious writer, with a sense of humor and a conviction in what he is trying to see -- Paul Vangelisti.
