Synopsis

Crows in the Birches is a compelling and instructive new selection of poetry -- if selecting poetry from five consecutive decades of the poet's work can truly be called "new." Some see Peter R Jacoby as a Modern-Romanticist; others as a Romantic-Modernist; others still as an Imagist. But in all cases, he is a great storyteller, and his stories are all about you and me, because they are so authentically about him. He writes in what seems to be simple free verse. But one should hearken back to what T. S. Eliot wrote — “No verse is free for the man who wants to do a good job.” Mr. Jacoby’s work always demonstrates a strong sense of scansion and rhyme, with memorable result. Crows in the Birches is an excellent, intriguing, and revealing selection of poetry from just over a half-century of watching, listening, and writing.
