Book Reviews of Telling Time by the Shadows
Book Review: TELLING TIME BY THE SHADOWS, a beautiful and stunning collection of poems of love and longing
Summary: 5 Stars
John M. FitzGerald's TELLING TIME BY THE SHADOWS is an extraordinary and brilliant
collection of poems of love and longing, written at the dawn of a relationship.
A very intimate and deeply moving book, it is a testament to FitzGerald's incredibly
wide range. His first collection, Spring Water, a novel in verse about the mental of
a serial killer, could not be more different.
These are stirring poems written from the heart in the form of prayer:
From "Prayer"
Now, I stare into emptiness,
alone enough for poetry,
alone enough for even me,
alone requiring mention of passing.
There are these words, a sound,
an order, evasive emotions
I've known so long, just not acknowledged.
But others begin to notice frozen souls.
I don't know why I seem surprised.
I'm making life happen, I let it run wild.
I ought to rein it in a little,
maybe do some real work.
Give me that alpha rhythmic vibe
and I'll go one-on-one with God.
God is not too busy for people like me.
I say, you are no God without me.
In "Talking to Rilke", FitzGerald writes:
I see you know loneliness, wanting not just words,
but verse to sprinkle mystery on the breeze
and feed the page, as if every moment
is observed and respected for its holiness.
So we, the readers, are left breathless and wanting more.
This is a haunting, timeless collection that you will want to read time and again.
