Magnificent. A magnum opus. A bridge of wonder between the black hole of hatred and the solace of love, between past, present and what the future may offer with its hidden hands. Between dawn and a kestrel who gathers dusk between his dappled wings. We dip into profound layer upon layer, both heartbreaking and heartening as we touch on the darkest human places, asking, How has such a seed grown in our midst? We must peer into our own dark hearts and call for an intolerance to intolerance and absolute allegiance to love. Holper always offers a bridge to light, driving back the darkness one brilliant ray of love at a time. We visit intimate moments in Holper's life: hitchhiking, driving a cab in Ketchikan, discovering love of language (like the word for friend in Tlinkot) and always, the dangerous habit of poetry. Poems give glimpses of basic training ( in the innermost circle of hell ) his mother's near death on the Golden Gate Bridge, his miraculous survival clinging to a mountain cliff with a friend in a thunderstorm. I almost stopped breathing. Throughout, Holper lifts us to a parallel universe that sits outside perception, where we can glimpse all that is invisible. He helps us believe that once the veil of the invisible is sundered...the wildest of our imaginings can begin to take form. Plan to read from evening's inky incantation on into the night. --Susan Wooldridge, author of poemcrazy: freeing your life with words
