The Chain Letter of the Soul
The Chain Letter of the Soul: New and Selected Poems | Bill Holm
2 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
"At the age of ten, growing up on the prairie in southwest Minnesota, Bill Holm began assembling "The Collected Poems of Wm. J. Holm, 1953." Animated by youthful ambition and a strong affinity for music, langauge, and the mystery of life, the boy would later become known as "the sage of Minnesota."" "Including nearly a hundred new, previously unpublished poems, along with poems selected from his previous collections, The Chain Letter of the Soul paints a portrait of a man of great heart, broad vision, and startling prescience. At once intimate and profoundly universal, approachable yet richly philosophical, these poems represent a final gift to "whatever future will come."" --Book Jacket.

Collecting the finest from his earlier books as well as a separate book's worth of uncollected material written before the poet's death, this book is an excellent introduction to this underknown writer. His poems focus on his passions - life, the piano & classical music, his love of Iceland which he visited for long periods, his search for humanity and dignity in the contemporary world. I'm so glad I discovered him. Highly recommended.
