He composes his poems from the \"meridian of my life\", about young love, or an elder's love that amount to, as he puts it: \"a supple conspiracy of bliss\". His bonds of sympathy with the past are still strong, his language as solid as it is supple and built carefully from the ground up. A beautiful book.\u003cbr\u003eJohn Macker, author of \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eDesert Threnody\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis ravishing collection of love poems threads the journey from youthful innocence throughout life, distilling each wondrous or sad experience to its shining core. Humans, nature, and things are one; music, image, and revelation are one; narrative, lyrical, and mystical are one. Everything communes with everything...woven in eros love, philos love, agape love. Argos MacCallum lives, moves, and has his being in the magnetic field of love where lovers \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003erecognize\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e each other. I gasp at every poem.

The book is full of beloveds, and the Lorca-like language expresses varieties of love, from the tender \"hibiscus of kisses\" to the passionate \"firestorm of flamenco\/from the firepit of her hips.\" His poems are \"conspiracies of bliss,\" about beneficence, such as the unexpected gift of a fixed door to a forlorn, Eleanor Rigby-type character. He speaks of \"an allowance of grace\" and a \"tumult of praise\" in a text that exudes grace and praise. In our often ominous millieu, MacCallum's poems, \"discover a trust that powers the world.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDonald Levering, Robinson Jeffers Award Winner and author of \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eBreaking Down Familiar\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.12 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 10, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54054645498163,"sku":"9781639801596","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/GMPeAJrEiI9781639801596.webp?v=1789030325","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/sleeping-woman-mountain-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
