James E. Cherry weaves legend, performance and history into polyphonic poems that resonate with vivid details. Cherry makes us willing to travel wherever his poems take us, wheter it's washing chicken sandwiches down with orange soda at Brother's Bar-B-Q or listening to Charlie Parker shout 4 o'clock in the morning blues down at Minton's on the Square. Memory is gnawed like a bone as poem after poem surveys with amazement life that is lost or passing away. Lover darts in and out, slippery as a fish, as Cherry reveals a willingness to love even those who cannot be redeemed by love's power, knowing that what endures is the force within the human heart.-Vivian Shipley, Editor, Connecticut Review
