The Perfect Heart - 9780932412928

Poetry. THE PERFECT HEART documents 45 years' worth of extraordinary work by a poet who is a true heir to Frost and Carruth--their tonalities and breadth of concern and vision, and their grounding in rural Vermont. Geof Hewitt's range and craft, the variety of his short and long poems, are admirable, as is the constancy of his spirit. He is open to a multitude of leadings, never with restricted agendas, and fearlessly takes the reader along as a trusted friend and confidante. This book could aptly be called "Love Tokens," for that's what most of the poems are. This is a collection to celebrate with each reading.
