Poetry. "Call him a neoclassicist seasoned by the spirits of Zen and Taoism--his poems are revelations, beautiful and true," says Sam Hamill about poet Sidney Hall Jr. Goethe's dying words "More Light!" inspired Hall's third book of poetry. "Sidney Hall patrols his territory . . . with a restless energy, a keen eye and an almost unbearable need to reconcile what he loves of our fragile world with what he fears for it and for us," says Marie Harris, former New Hampshire poet laureate. Novelist Lawrence Kinsman says, "These poems reflect a constant striving toward the creation of something gem-like, stanza by stanza, even as the author holds in his hands the earthiest of elements. . . . Sidney Hall's enlightened constellation of artistic concerns surely distinguishes the best poetry of this or any era." Hall was recently nominated for a Pushcart prize and two poems from this book were read by Garrison Keillor on Writer's Almanac.
