Wade Newman's
POISONED APPLES
Wade Newman's poetry reminds us that the "I" of the poet is not necessarily
the snobbish self-compliment of so many workshop products, but can be the
all-seeing and tragic eyes of a Tiresias, who has, as Eliot says, "foresuffered
all" and is too wise for self-esteem. Such an "I" is as much at home
in the most ancient myths as in the bitter-erotic streets of Manhattan....
-- Frederick Turner, author of Genesis, The New World, The Return,
Hadean Eclogues and many volumes of critical writing, including The Culture of Hope.
Candid, compassionate, and withal, witty as hell! The poems in
Wade Newman's Poisoned Apples bespeak a determination to be truthful,
a refusal to soften the focus or blur reality.
-- Kelly Cherry, author of Lovers and Agnostics,
Rising Venus and God's Loud Hand, among many other titles including novels, criticism and nonfiction
Wade Newman has a voice and a style. The voice is wise and knowing,
though never intrusive, and it understands the way men and women talk to
each other. The style is a knock-out, sophisticated and armed with
lyrical and narrative surprises. Newman's cadences stretch from wonderfully
fulfilled sonnets to an array of dramatic monologues to naturalistic description....
-- Jack Butler, author of The Kid Who Wanted To Be A Spaceman
and Living In Little Rock With Miss Little Rock.
