Some Dredged Deep

Robin Wyatt Dunn’s poetry holds one important characteristic I look for in a poem - the intuitive mind, especially as fulcrum for leaps of insight. Whether read as one long poem or as self-sufficient, independent poems (as the poet intuits in #11 - these poems ), this book showcases craftsmanship that argues very well for the proposition that poetry is most of the time more about how it, rather than what, is said. That the rhythm is in many ways the poetry, the rhythm that echoes complex emotions. In his poetry, imagery is rhythmic and synesthetic. Images, as visual constructs, have echoic registers as complex sound patterns. This book is a must-have for seasoned readers of poetry, as well as enthusiasts in the apprenticeship stage - as his poetry embodies one facet of literary excellence: the best poems teach how to write poetry, and write it well. - Jonel Abellanosa, author of Multiverse (Clare Songbirds Publishing House) and Pan’s Saxophone (Weasel Press).
