It is such a pleasure to sit with Gary J. Whitehead’s latest book, Strange What Rises, as these meditations continually search for the profound with deep attentiveness, whether in moments of stillness or in moments of tumult. I was hooked from the very first poem, “Wild Columbine.” Here is a keen eye for the lyric sweep of a poem braided with a narrative propulsion. Whitehead never averts his gaze, whether in service to beauty or in witness to the painful. He says, “Let me raise the storms,” and he does just that, with "an avian choir, / days with repeating phrases, // whole summers of arias.”
