A review by divineauthor
Visible Signs: New and Selected Poems by Lawrence Raab

emotional reflective medium-paced

3.75

“All things vanish. You know that. / All the things you love / vanish.” —“Vanishing,” page 188

this is very much a close 4 for me, but it edged more out of my realm of poetry interest most of the time. raab’s got such a firm grasp of bare, emotional truths and always leaves the last line(s) turning the whole poem around!
