Eminent poet-critic William Allegrezza reviews Thomas Fink's Selected Poems & Poetic Series over at p-ramblings. You can see his review HERE, but here's an excerpt:
Do you read left to right across the page? That seems to make sense, except the piece has a design which seems to suggest that one should follow it down and around. Any why is there a shape? Why is there space in the middle of the poem? Fink's poems, not just this one, make you question your reading process while at the same time pushing you off in new directions. For example, the Home Cooked Diamond series reminds me of rain, and that makes me think of Apollinaire's "Il Pleut," yet Fink's poems are on a completely different topic.
All in all, I'm very happy to see that Fink has published a selected. I hope it introduces new readers to his work and makes people look back over his collections and realize how amazingly good they are.
