pickI picked this one up not knowing the author, but I see that he is well-regarded and it's my ignorance rather than his obscurity responsible for that lacuna.
The opening poems were striking and evocative. I thought there was something more ordinary about some of the middle poems, and while that's probably a personal reaction, it did give rise to some trepidation as I approached the final 21-page poem, The Grey and the Green, which fortunately ⬇️
"Between the keyboard and the screen
Lies hidden electronic finery
That turns what either of you says
Into electronic impulses.
Its simple code is binary.
It makes with anyone who chooses
Its Mesphistophelian bargain
To help you achieve your goal
Provided that you lose your soul
And use the proper jargon."
- The Grey and the Green
Interestingly applicable to social media and online data mining, considering it was published in 1988.
"Mornings restore us to the physical
With the clink of familiar slight purpose,
Toying with a log-jam of All Bran
In milk almost blue, like a wrist."
- Breakfast

“The eye that has no need to see looks nowhere."
- Swimming at Night
“Have you, too, been aware
Of a sort of something inside you,
Something uncertainly there
Like something you never tried?"
- Longing
The Grey Among the Green | 
The topics include loneliness, everyday life, nature, relationships, a rather good one about rain, an elegy for a deceased pet rabbit, and a variety of others, which, as I flick through those middle poems to list, strike me as rather better than my previous comments suggest. (edited) 3mo
