Slack Action
'Slack action' refers to the free movement experienced by the boxcar of a train, when the car coasts free, neither pushed nor pulled. Jeffery Donaldson's fifth collection, in which single words, images and even poems coast free, suggests that all life is middle life, and that we live in a present moment that coasts between a beginning we can't remember and an end we can't predict.

Loved it! 3 sections. Toy Poems really stuck in my mind: incredible poems inspired by inanimate objects. Poems: 4 Haiku; The Stadium; The Selected Poems; all the Toy Poems; An Honest Man; Donkey's Way; the humor of November 5th; Two on Donnard; and Express Takeout.
