The award-winning poet Paul Martin creates Closing Distances with his wonderful new collection of poems, "Dream changes the world in a dramatic way" rather than telling it to lean and gradually make readers Dazzling. The series includes a commemoration of his children's home in the Pennsylvania countryside. These poems form a portrait of an elusive immigrant class working for the railway.
Martin's fascinating rendering of his ancestral life shows that he is not only a first-class writer, but also an embarrassing storyteller. The other poems in the series are from the perspective of a young person. In poems such as "Young Lovers in the Park", "Sweater Girl" and "Strawberry", Martin uses a lighter tone to match youthful optimism. The poetry that dominates the collection is from the perspective of an old man. These mainly involve separation and loss. In particular, Martin sadly passed his brother Fritz to the exquisite work such as "exquisite ship".
In several of his poems, Martin used the elements of nature to create strong images. Trees, animals, and especially birds are scattered throughout his poetry landscape. For example, in "watching the news," the demise of the Bird's Nest conveys the desperation of war and paralyzes the narrator. Martin's use of natural images brought immediacy to his work, but there is still a flash of invisibility.
Martin's poetry is personal in their content, but their theme is universal. In "The Strap," this poem records his "desperate open face." It can be said that it is this open quality that allows Martin to tell a story of a repressed drunkenness at the end of the "Quarry" bar. In this excellent collection, there seems to be a desire to get rid of the embarrassment of time and endure all things beyond understanding. To this end, Martin only needs to look at his own poetry.
