Rather than become fatalistic, he gleans lessons from unpredictable nature and weaves them into his own life. He finds in these poems comfort in chaos, solid footing on shaky ground, and a will to keep moving forward in a life both palpable and imagined.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMark Saba weaves exquisite metaphors and vivid scenes that appeal to all the senses. \"Then the bombs fell, ripe watermelons \/ painting the earth red\" (from \"The Day the Bombs Fell\").
