Poetry again prevails – the subject this time,
coping with time and our mortality. Elsasser has
accomplished some beautifully written and
memorable work here, weaving words about the
waxing of our years and waning of our bodies,
and where it leaves us.
David Elsasser's a dangerous poet. His art is patient observation of what happens when time passes and we are not looking. He nails it “past where rails meet.” What images! Watch your back, these rites of passage are not for children.
