Review of Breathing for Clouds
Poems
of deeply felt sentiment and crafted solace always find ardent readers. And so
will Breathing for Clouds, Christopher Reilley’s new grab bag of emotive poetry
and atmospheric prose. Reilley’s poetic pieces radiate sincerity and formal
authority with a twist of versatility and a flexing of heart. Not all the poems
work on the same level, and that seems okay, especially when the collection
derives its power from plain spoken honesty and genuineness.
Early
on, in a poem entitled A Digital Voice, Reilley captures the deluge of his own
emotions on a computer screen. As his voices stream in from the cosmos, a torrent
of feelings, he molds the music into a perfectly contained, efficacious image.
