Book of the Week: Postage Due

John Brandi and Steve Sanfield have collaborated on many projects, and it might seem as though their voices meld into a continuity. Which is the working premise of this volume ((Backlog/Tooth of Time Books, 2011) where poems are not identified by author, but presented in an ensemble voice, a voice that is knowing of the local and responsive to the cosmic.

You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.

year’s end
looking in both directions
for an answer

wild musk
in the darkest
places

a dusting of snow
covers last night’s tracks
—who’s next?

sitting with a dying friend
the seasons change
again

a new nurse—
her finger
too short

in the hands
of the medicine man
plastic arrows
