Reviews for At Bunker Cove
by Rick Benjamin
...How lovely to be in the company of a poet whose seriousness of purpose is also deeply rooted in questioning, whose voice alternates between tentative moral certainty and simply letting go of all that to consider the cove, a boat rowing home, aging while being in love with one's wife and kids, hungry crows before dawn, all "the small things."
Sample from At Bunker Cove
County Road
It could be your life, or
just another road.
Mist hangs in the hollows,
the trees mere shadows.
Here is everything you need—
the dim outline of stone
barns, farm houses, the sun
still a blur—to imagine
a new world breaking
that cocoon of sorrow
you’re tangled in. This
motorcycle you’ve been riding,
old as it is, knows nothing
of ancient wrongs.
Why should you?
The mist rises, opens
on a field with horses
standing by a white fence.
Look at them, look
at how they take their time
with all the sweet
new clover.
