Title: Eye Opening
Review: When I think of poetry I put Roethke right next to all the mastersthat I love: Keats, Shakespeare, Thomas. Roethke separates himself byhis immersion full thrust into our world. For him there is no membrane betweenhis words and nature. Plants, people, provide pictures for his unerringrhythm. While chilling me to the bone, he charms me with wit. When I wishto shake myself out my doldrums I read Roethke. His poems have a courageof a pioneer that goes alone. Like Keats said "he ne're is crowned with immortalityWho fears to follow where any voices lead."
