The Concerto Form

by Anthony Hawley

Poetry. Born in 1977, Anthony Hawley grew up in New England and was educated at Columbia University. He is the author of the chapbooks 'Afield' (Ugly Duckling Presse) and 'Vocative' (Phylum Press), and his poems have appeared in various publications including Denver Quarterly, The New Republic, The Paris Review, 26, and Volt.

"With THE CONCERTO FORM, Anthony Hawley joins that international company of exploratory poets who celebrate at once the fugitive music and the mysteries of the tangible world. With great formal range, he addresses the here/not here, the vibrating strings of things as they are. "All in the eye's reach," as he declares. And the ear's"--Michael Palmer.

I love the description in the first set of his poems. I felt as though he lost me somewhat in the later movements. There is a peacefulness he is able to convey so well through his writing. I will be thinking about several of his poems for many months.
