Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Matthew Cory's Feeding the Meter is among the most brilliant formal poetry being written today. Like the early work of Stanley Kunitz, Cory gives us profound Yeatsian meditations on morality. These are unforgettable poems where the light of "sapphire hope" rises from dark "crevices of heart and soul." Forests play symphonies, sunset "burns the dregs of day," and ancient battles, like dead bards, live again in Cory's timeless masterpiece. Read this book and you will hear music on every page.-Mary Alice Dixon, author, Snakeberry Mamas: Words from the WildFeeding The Meter is a true testament to Matthew's ability to weave universal themes so skillfully into beautiful melodious verse. As he says: "I tried to pen this poem freeFrom iambs, yet the words Keep beat in meter, steadilyAs flitting wings of birds."Readers will surely find echoes of their own experiences of nature, hope, love, longing, and loss. Matthew's keen attention to metaphor, rhyme, and rhythm throughout makes this a truly enjoyable read, and one to be treasured.-Claire Thom, author, Wildflowers in Oyster Stone
