Deserving of a Pulitzer
WHAT LOVE COMES TO: NEW & SELECTED POEMS by Ruth Stone
Copper Canyon Press. 357 pages. c. 2008
Reviewed by Burgess Needle,June 24, 2008
Reading Ruth Stone's poetry is falling through Alice's magic hole and coming out into a world that's been refreshed, redesigned and realigned. The natural world will never look the same to you after Ruth Stone's poetry because you've seen the world through the eyes of a wolverine and the universe from an exploding star. Love in all its crackling flashing surfaces will surprise you again in ways you thought had been lost forever. Ruth Stone's poetry validates string theory: we're all here, there and someplace else at the same time. Buy this book, fall into it, let it envelop you. In the end, part of you returns from a parallel universe, but part of you stays there forever because Ruth Stone's poetry gives you a clarity of vision you never knew you needed and so many blurry, sepia shapes previously familiar and common are suddenly in focus and startle you with true color. In her poem "Memory" Ruth Stone asks, "Can it be that / memory is useless, / like a torn web / hanging in the wind?..." That poems continues on its own path, but this reviewer swerves away, simply saying -- WHAT LOVE COMES TO devours memory as fodder for a galaxy of poems, each one a portal to another world. Buy this absolutely brilliant collection.

Writing Like Herself, to Invent the Universe
2. Juni 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Ruth Stone's "What Love Comes To" is a fine book: new Poems (2008) and selected poems from 1959-2004. Her long career of writing poems seems short though when compared with her age (she was born in Virginia in 1915). She lives in Vermont, and her sense of place is crucial to these poems. Kansas, Virginia, Vermont, New York, California, Indiana. Wherever she's been, she's observed her surroundings well, as a naturalist, noting lilacs, trillium, iris, milkweed, and lifting leaves. She writes of woods, mountains, and "bare fields after the snow is gone." Kansas becomes Africa when "The rolled hay is like hippopotami."
"I started out in the Virginia mountains
with my grandma's pansy bed
and my Aunt Maud's dandelion wine."
She's noticed creatures of ground, water, and air - crows, caterpillars, wasps, bears, hummingbirds, bumblebees, flycatchers, warblers, worms, cats, cockroaches, blind baby mice, the hum of spiders, the husk of a locust, redwing blackbirds, globe fish, nightjars, lions, and phantom zebras. Often her poems seem more like conversational meditations than poetry, as if we're peering into the journal of a life, where words flow as if effortlessly.
"One morning you wake up in a trailer
on the Moline River.
Never mind how you got here."
Sharing her reward for an observed life, she reflects contemplatively.
"I read that the left side
reveals the true self.
My true self has been
stitched to another face.
Not even my words fit.
I listen to what the
mouth is saying,
but I write in a small
notebook -
where is the body of
this person?"
And she stays throughout this book remarkably hopeful.
"Memory becomes the exercise against loss."
I also recommend Virginia poet Dabney Stuart's new book of poems: Tables and Fred Chappell's Midquest: A Poem.

Superb. Future prize winning book!
4. Juni 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Hi. This is my first review. I think this book is worth every penny and it will win a big prize in '08 like the national Book Award or Pulitzer. If not, Fire to Fire by Mark Doty (also his collected works will win!) What I love about this book, is that it reveals the gowth of the poet over time, as any collected works should, but it also shows how elegant, simple but poetic, and wonderful her language has been all along. She is an overlooked poet in my opinion even thow she has won a few of the prizes and Hunger Mountain (a literary journal) named a prize after her! Buy this now!Fire to Fire: New and Selected Poems
