Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Look Back is...a journal of the poet's progress through time, across varied horizons, and within personally-significant as well as culturally- and geographically-shared landscapes, all presented in accessible andfamiliar yet original language.--Jonas Zdanys, Poetry InternationalThe geographies of Jennings' life permeate his poems...the landscape is a character in its own right.It is a presence infiltrating all that lives within it.--Bob Darling The Tar River Poetry ReviewHis satisfying lines sing with memory, endured longing, and an imperfect sense of self, striving tomake sense of mortality.--Ken Hada, World Literature TodayReading the love lyrics...feels like falling in love. We follow the development of a romancethat...turns the tawdry dross of adultery into the gold of clean-washed emotion. Everything sparklesfreshly in these poems.--Jay Rogoff The Southern Review...a Muse book for the most part, deftly dancing with death and the seasons, full of wisdom andrhyme, assonance and alliteration, pace, silence, love, all those elements that are poetry or shoulddefine what poetry is.--Kerry Shawn Keys, Rain TaxiHis gift is to reflect the immensity of life, both exterior and interior.--Susan Deer Cloud, Stone Canoe
