Voices Against Silence Alan Holder

The collection employs a variety of tones, ranging from the deadly serious to the humorous, as, celebrating language, it addresses materials drawn from both the human and natural worlds. In poems that are always accessible, its focus is sometimes on the specific and near at hand, sometimes on large questions arising from the human condition. In accordance with this, it stands ready, at one moment, to contemplate a pet cat, at another, the cosmos.
