Steve Straight Libri

Exploring the tension between hardship and hope, the poems capture the extraordinary within everyday life. In "Telling the Bees," the speaker expresses a desire to overcome doubt and rediscover joy and wonder. Steve Straight's collection invites readers to embrace a hopeful vision of the world, offering a profound reflection on resilience and the beauty that can be found amidst challenges.

While the poems in Steve Straight''s new collection lead the reader 'into the dark forest of memory / or onto the carnival ride of hypothesis, / or even right off the cliff of surprise', they maintain a sure course through the din and distraction of modern life. The result is a collection of conversational poems that lend a sense of wonder to the commonplace.
