Our Geographies

The second volume in the two volume series of early poems covering between 1970 - 1980.The first volume is Measuring Gravity By Grace.Through what we might consider limitations perception alters both experience and conclusion in these poems.These are not the poems of our grandfathers or grandmothers, not even of the nearest generation.These poems are evidence of the future, boundaries necessarily transcended in order to become more than the trappings of contemporary physicality.They move the individual through themselves and beyond their own native dimensions to a world of self-evident grace residing within the individual as the originating point for every understanding and knowledge of the means to alter our worlds.Poetry is the song and the expression of our sorrow and joys, minute and finite, that allow that greater feeling and comprehension of what it is we can hope to achieve and experience, without turning aside, resorting to or giving in to mechanisms used to make our way through passages in the world.These poems are some of the evidence uniquely expressed and distilled. The reward is that we are given such works to alert us.http://deanjbaker.wordpress.com
