White is given to sudden violent storms and rough water that test and shape a man's grasp on the living. No matter how far his poems travel--Russia, Bermuda, Italy, the Dominican Republic, Germany, Mexico, France, New York City, Africa--water is never far from the elemental current that feeds them. As such, his poems are brightly lit with a searching out of islands, distant cities, and those thin places where the truth of our wounds and our wonder shine through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new poems in \u003ci\u003eAll Good Water\u003c\/i\u003e speak convincingly about the death of friends and family, the renewal of marriage, lost shoes, abandoned children, and failed boats, as well as larger troubles in the torn fabric of America and our historic obsessions with expansion and blood purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the last thirty-five years, \u003cb\u003eJ.P.
