Ingram
Poet Steven Heighton searches for the heart's true center somewhere between the polarized spheres of order and anarchy, of logic and the erotic, of Apollo and Dionysus. In the book's central section, matched, facing poems collide in dialogue and argue, or harmonize, as the search goes on through near and distant times and places.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A variety of styles and topics, Oct 2 2004
By M. J. Smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Ecstasy of Skeptics (Paperback)
Steven Heighton is a poet well worth becoming acquainted with. He uses a wide variety of styles and techniques - mixing and matching as necessary to meet his purposes. Serious, playful, religious, 'scandalous' - he is equally at home. Beneath it all is a significant understanding of loss and love. These are not poems in which particular turns of phrase catch your attention; rather it is the poem as a whole that creates the strong impression. Use the "look inside" option to get a taste of his style.
