Marion's book of poems, "Father", July 14 2009
By Anne Meek - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Father (Paperback)
Jeff Daniel Marion's recent volume of poetry, Father, resonates with vivid imagery, revealing such sensory delights as "Wind sighs in the long, leafy/ arms of willow" and "...only when death is ready/ will your wings unfold/ to lift you free/ beyond this dark weather,/ beyond time." Marion draws on deeply felt observations and shares them with us in compelling words that reveal not only the connections between father and son but also the son's memories of times and places. His words often recreate images in specific timelines, in such titles as "VICTORY GARDENS, 1945" and "78 RPM," and "CHRISTMAS FIREWORKS, 1948." Then, again, sometimes his words tell stories of fatherhood and childhood, of early impressions and later understandings. The poems resonate within their myriad settings--the ink room at the print shop, the bedside vigil, the closet floor; and the language Marion uses is concrete, sharp, and warm. In these settings memory reveals itself as a living part of the present polished through the years like his father's Omega watch and treasured as his father valued the life of a hummingbird: "Then the bird stirred and rose/ to perch on his thumb./ As he slowly raised his hand/ the wings began to hum/ and my father's breath lifted/ and flew out across the world." It is a joy to read Marion's work!
