Title: A Grand Study of Character
Review: Many poetry collections are big on style and light on substance, but with TOWARD EVENING AND THE DAY FAR SPENT, poet Stephen Frech combines both with astounding beauty and depth. Interpreting the life of Christ is a daunting and risky task, but Mr. Frech is able to pull it off with a great deal of grace and humanity. These poems present us with a life that doesn't exclude us but includes us; a life, much like our own, that is touched with beauty, sadness, failure and redemption. The genius of Mr. Frech's poems is their ability to show us that we are not alone when it comes to pain, joy, wonder and disappointment. And for a brief moment, these 14 poems allow us to ponder the fact that a life so complicated and strange as that of Christ's, may not be so different from our own strange and complicated lives.
