One More Before Goodbye by R H Sin
From North Dakota, where emptiness / takes up a lot / of space, to Alabama, where a mother offers nothing / Less than plenty, David Starkey's poems mark him as nothing less than a fool / For life. His book gives us a fireworks display of creativity as varied and strange as the states it conjures. We scoot along here in a word-RV bound for just about everywhere, from North Carolina, which possesses, so Starkey claims, an atomic peanut (while Texas doesn't, but provides blowing sage) to D. C., memorable for kids in the backseat who won't shut up, to Connecticut centered on publish or perish at Yale. The wonders here depend on constant shifts of focus: sometimes the poems inhabit personae-Thoreau, Sojourner Truth, Elvis (not in Tennessee but in Wisconsin)-sometimes they speak for the poet as memoir; always they surprise and thrill with their oddity of attack, their tart-voiced fearlessness, their range of subject as vast as the great country they so fully evoke. -Barry Spacks, Santa Barbara Poet Laureate The book is illustrated by Rafael Perea de la Cabadar.h. was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and eventually moved to Florida. Sin emerges from a world where suffering is the norm and ruin is unavoidable. r.h. developed a liking for reading and writing at a young age. Sin was able to avoid some of the social distractions that so many of his contemporaries experienced. The young modern poet found love and much more after returning to the Northeast and coming to New York in search of it.
