The Orchestra of Wind Chimes - Geoffrey Jacques
Praise for The Orchestra of Wind Chimes
"‘What happened to the beautiful language?’ asks Geoffrey Jacques’s opening line of The Orchestra of Wind Chimes. The answer is it is here in poem after poem of his new collection containing clean, clear, compressed, meditative, and intuitive lines that will leave a haunting sensation lingering on the periphery of your mind."
—Bill Harris, 2011 Kresge Foundation Eminent Artist
"A Change in the Weather, Just for a Thrill, Geoffrey Jacques has always been attentive to what was in the wind but was never one simply to look at the wind sock and follow the drift. His has always been a writing on the storm, a writing at the edge of night. And now his The Orchestra of Wind Chimes is tolling our times."
—Aldon Nielsen
"The Orchestra of Wind Chimes by Geoffrey Jacques never captivates by hardening itself into the province of fatigue but susurrates according to grammar by moonlight and never presents itself according to the isolated folly that is day-to-day captivation."
—Will Alexander
