Description
Poetry. For over twenty year's I have lived and worked near the Morrow Plots, but it was not until I read Matt Frank's book that I really saw them. His book is a historical and personal record of a central Illinois landmark. He much like William Carlos Williams, in Patterson, brings to his vision, a poetry of acute awareness and accuracy. Frank's poems are vigorous, penetrating, and moving. He employs a microscopic and telescopic perspective that allows us to examine an external and internal landscape with photographic and linguistic precision. THE MORROW PLOTS is an important poetic work that dramatically evidences how estranged we can be from our own attentiveness.--Michael David Madonick
