Especially now, when World Cup fever is at a pitch and nations ask "Who will be the winner?" it is more than appropriate to bring
"Hard Landing, Poems 3"
by Canadian Poet Jim Bennett
to your attention. Why? Because cleverly using Brazil's landmark on its cover--"Hard Landing" clearly steps out in front of the fray as the winner.
So far, I found Poems 3 the hardest to read - but wasn't that the intent of the poet? It was also the one volume that I know I shall reread many times to rediscover more of its depths and truths. An astonishing volume of gut-punching poetry.
Check out Bennett's Other Poetry on Amazon:
On March 26 and May 3, I reviewed Poems 5 and 4, respectively (I know, I am going backwards - which does not detract from my enjoyment of these works one iota).
