Reconsidered Light - Keith Moul - Bog

As a volume of poems and photos, Reconsidered Light covers thousands of miles, through common scenes and unusual scenes, but each with provacative power that forced poetic responses to his photos by Keith Moul. He is powerless to resist capturing images that present themselves to him and is compelled often to mine those images for, what William Stafford, one of Keith's favorite poets, called "golden threads." Keith loves travel, especially by car, to any place with enough room to stop at the side of the road and record what he sees, views that many would pass without a second thought. Then he works those captured images into drama or beauty to his eye. His craft of poetry has evolved over more than 40 years to produce a calm, conversational cadence, in phrasings both lyric and narrative as appropriate to the images.
