Yellowrocket: Poems by Todd Boss

5.0

When was the last time you read a book of poetry cover to cover? I am not sure if I ever had til I got this slim volume of poems by Todd Boss. The images and the voices of young and old for whom work, the cold, and struggle are everyday occurrences rarely put into words become live on the page. It's like a series of staged dramas in just enough words. Vignettes of struggle, lives, nature, parenthood, childhood blend into one another in a page turning way. I could see places and people I have known in these poems.
