He shows us where words \u201clead to the earth.\u201d That\u2019s a great gift in a book of poetry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"><strong>\u2014Nicholas Samaras<\/strong>, <i>Hands of the Saddlemaker; American Psalm, World Psalm<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Jeff Grieneisen is intimate and intense in his poems\u2014he generously lets us move through his personal history as a human being on earth, with his people, his loves, his body. Yet, as we meander through this house of leaves expecting sketched stories, chance insights, and the magic of memory, we find something much more definite and permanent: a poet\u2019s truth, an eccentric personage of many faces passing a doorway or sitting in a chair by the window. I imagine him <\/span><span class=\"s1\">half hidden among words as by a cloak and hat; he allows us patiently to come near and reverently pay him homage in moments of contemplation and wonder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"><strong>\u2014Roxana Preda,<\/strong> University of Edinburgh<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Reading Jeff Grieneisen\u2019s latest collection, <em>The Language of Phosphorescence,<\/em> you\u2019ll discover a poet who\u2019s embraced other poets, especially the Imagists, and, at the same time, has embraced the world he lives in.\u00a0Exploring Grieneisen\u2019s poetic world, I\u2019m reminded of one of my favorite Frost poems, \u201cTo Earthward.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Its last two stanzas read:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\" style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">When stiff and sore and scarred<br \/>\nI take away my hand<br \/>\nFrom leaning on it hard<br \/>\nIn grass and sand,<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\" style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">The hurt is not enough:<br \/>\nI long for weight and strength<br \/>\nTo feel the earth as rough<br \/>\nTo all my length.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The poems in <em>The Language of Phosphorescence<\/em> lean hard on the world and its images, so when we\u2019re finished reading we feel their impressions to all our length.\u00a0In a poetry world where \u201cpoets\u201d sometimes spew out feelings better meant for personal diaries or journals, tee shirts, or hipster tattoos, Jeff Grieneisen\u2019s poems are the real deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>\u2014Antonio Vallone<\/strong>,\u00a0Publisher, Mammoth Books; poetry editor, <i>Pennsylvania English<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeff Grieneisen<br \/>\n9781956921236<br \/>\n<span class=\"s1\">&#8220;<\/span>Jeff Grieneisen\u2019s poems are the real deal.&#8221;\u00a0\u2014Antonio Vallone<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14412,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[16],"product_tag":[381,442,18],"class_list":{"0":"post-14411","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-lavender-ink","7":"product_tag-ebook","8":"product_tag-jeff-grieneisen","9":"product_tag-poetry","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"featured","14":"taxable","15":"shipping-taxable","16":"purchasable","17":"product-type-variable","18":"berocket_lgv_grid","19":"berocket_lgv_list_grid"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
