Hurricane

by Alan Britt

Alan Britt's poetry is delectable and smooth. He transforms the nature that surrounds him in imaginative ways. He finds new uses for words to convey his passion in psalms for nature. Some poets describe nature, some describe themselves, while others describe a moment. Here we see a poet passing along the contents of his core, describing nature from within. But there is also mystery in his emotions, which makes reading his work exciting. The penetration in his work is seen in the following "There's a moth / in my / rum, / flailing / the / high seas like a / great American novelist." His work is profound; he is skillful and eloquent and shows us how flawlessly he helms his universe. With Hurricane, he breaks the boundaries of language--which is what a poet should always do--and takes us through a thought process in which we experience sounds as exalting music that arouses our sensitivity.Nilda Cepero editor, LSR author, Bohemian Canticles and Havana Blues
