Reviews for Blues in the Night
by Robert Farnsworth
Eloquent! I enjoyed these sonnets. Their alertness to the commerce between inner and outer weathers is admirably and durably expressed.
-- on The Greatest Game Ever Played
by James Merrill
on RECALLING AUGUST
I took great pleasure in this book to the point -- here and there -- of absolute envy.
Sample from Blues in the Night
Delayed Stress: They Pull Me Back
You look way back, and there in the Texas sun
are Bob and Joe, striding with their chutes
across their shoulders, flight suits sweaty, boots
crunching on the heated concrete, done
with today's mission, ready for the bar
at the O club, Perry singing "No Other Love"
on the jukebox. They pull one G. The sky above
no sweat. Steak and fries, rinsed with Lone Star.
Later that year, they died. I was young.
They will always be. And I recall them here,
wing men, flight mates, Joe - can it be wrong
that I survive? - and Bob, smiling. No fear,
though they would die that year. It's been a long
time now. Long time. I just can't leave them there.
