In Being Many Seeds, one discovers finely crafted poetry. In addition, the author employs redaction and white space to whittle each poem twice to an essence--the first surprising and nuanced, the second even sharper and more clever. The poems each contain a footnote referring to the philosophy of Teilhard, a Jesuit priest, in ways that create a conversation between two lively minds. If poetry at its finest is meant to be read and re-read, this collection offers fresh delights with each reading.
