Bees in the Grass
Len Schweitzer
- With
- a
- style
- somewhere
- between
- a
- hipster
- and
- a
- Japanese
- landscape
- painter,
- poet
- Len
- Schweitzer
- has
- mastered
- the
- poetics
- of
- image.
- In
- this,
- his
- first
- full-length
- book
- of
- poems,
- he
- presents
- us
- with
- such
- exotic
- pictures
- as
- a
- "fedora
- glazed
- with
- paris
- rain"
- and
- a
- "dead
- man's
- skull
- rattling
- with
- silver
- coins."
- He
- invites
- us
- to
- recall
- the
- scent
- of
- frangipani,
- the
- taste
- of
- mangoes
- and
- honey,
- the
- caress
- of
- a
- warm
- Gulf
- Stream
- breeze,
- and
- a
- hundred
- other
- bottled-up
- sensations
- that
- awaken
- the
- senses
- like
- an
- after-dinner
- tipple,
- sip
- by
- sip,
- poem
- by poem.
