Looking Back At Earth

Kline, A. S. (b.1947), authored by Kline, A. S. (contact-email)

In this early collection of poetry, verse of a personal nature seeks to explore the place of mind and self in the external world, and the challenge of making and creating despite the many darknesses that the individual encounters along the way. The poems explore the poet’s relationship to the past and to the tradition as well as the present. The perspective on being from which the poetry emerges is internal rather than external. the poems being exercises in the subjective rather than objective, not descriptive poetry but equally not simply confessional, rather a record of the mind’s response to reality.
