Cold Remembered and other poems (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798888381229)

David R. Altman's Cold Remembered reveals the impressive range and wisdom of this gifted poet. The titular poem is a heartrending, harrowing triptych, suffused with Altman's imaginative power. Altman's formal verse soars with lucidity; the sound and sense of these poems conjoin beautifully. I am most impressed with Altman's sonic textures, as in an early poem of this multifaceted collection. Through nervy diction, even the most macabre of vignettes in Altman's work transcend mere transcription: "coyotes had roared into their hunger / and snagged all the deer's life away, / but the hide was left intact /like a burlap sack draped over bones." I eagerly await Altman's future work. It inspires me.
