Bücher von James Walton

'James Walton handles words like a jeweller handles a blue diamond. In each of his books, we are transported into a linguistic heaven. Snail Mail Cursive is no exception; an eloquent, gorgeous collection, in which one is invited into a private world made universal. Whether the subject is life, death, authors, songwriters, landscape or animals, he finds the cutting edge of a reflective language, burrowing deep within our shared and singular experience, enclosing us and reaching for more, within and out of his meticulous, inimitable prism.' - John Maxwell O'Brien

While Walton does not readily forgive the world its many failings, this collection is replete with the poet's signature tenderness and lyricism, a bustling paean to Eros, Sophia and empatheia. This quality wedded to the poet's nimbleness of thought, and keen eye, are like a "falling butterfly tapestry" that keeps the reader spellbound, wondering where his poetic imagination will take us next.Justin Lowepoet, author of eleven collections, editor of Bluepepper.
