MARSH HAWK PRESS WELCOMES WILLIAM BENTON

We are delighted to announce our newest release: William Benton's LIGHT ON WATER: NEW AND SELECTED POEMS 1972-2022. Mr. Benton is a distinguished poet who began his career as a jazz player.

“What most distinguishes the poetry and makes it entirely individual is the manner in which, over the course of any given poem, there is a sense of “motion” in the transitions from phrase to phrase, line to line, a shifting of planes, between image or observation and the abstract, which seems to me unique to the practice of this artist."
-August Kleinzahler
