“As always, the soul of a nation survives in the interstices of political and economic events. It survives, preeminently, in the arts. Art makes life better, even in the harshest of circumstances.”
The Lost Horse Press New Poets | Short Books Series, edited by Marvin Bell, brings together three short books of poetry under one cover. Human Shade appears in Volume V, along with excellent poetry collections by up-and-coming American poets Jensea Storie and Valentine Freeman.
Praise for Human Shade
“These are wonderful poems. Like dim sum, I unwrap the surprise inside each one and am delighted by the poet’s vision of koi, scorpion, bear, hand, shoes–Dear imagination of a boy.”
“Human Shade is a stunningly tender and perceptive collection, masterfully handled.”
“…a sense of withering time, but never crass or over-obvious, always subtle and Debussyian… Powerful precisely because of its larger cultural context and veiled (until the end) message.”
“Robert Peake is a first-rate poet whose collection, Human Shade, is a cycle of very tender and very finely crafted poems…”
“…a splendid new book.”
“…beautifully written, and moving, how the personal intersects with the world outside.”
“…an amazing collection…stunning and vivid.”
