A review by erichealdwebb
Braided Creek by Jim Harrison

3.0

There is a playfulness in the dialogue between these two poets that is very enjoyable. This is not a diabolically philosophical book, nor is it post-modern nonsensical. These are snippets of poetry set in indirect communication with each other.

The result, I think, is a field--in the way physicists think of the term--which conveys a sort of philosophy overall. Emotion is transmitted without being discussed. The atmosphere is both forlorn and satisfied, quietly comic and wistful.

This can be a one-sitting book, given an hour or two.
