Official synopsis Publisher
The poems in Blackberries were for the most part
written in the 1990’s and the early 2000’s. The title
poem is a declaration of the poet’s intent to let his
poems mature prior to publication, an action
occurring a decade later. The poems in this
volume differ from his earlier work in that they are
more intensely personal, technically more
accomplished, and more consistent in voice, rhythm
and sound. The stories are still there. The most
developed series of poems concerns his son’s
suicide.
