Short Journey Upriver Toward Oishida

Short Journey Upriver Toward Oishidaaf Roo Borson
Bag om Short Journey Upriver Toward Oishida

In Roo Borson's new watershed collection, it is as though language were being taught to increase its powers of concentration, to hearken simultaneously to the fully impinged-upon senses, the reflecting mind with its griefs and yearnings, the heart with its burden of live memory. Always "the line bends as the river bends,” a quick ever-adjusting music that carries in its current those cherished, perishable, details of eye and ear, mid-life reflections on loss and home, the subtle shifts in season suddenly made strange and re-awakened. Recurrently, probingly, the line returns to the place of poetry in our lives. In the spirit of Basho's famous journey to the far north, Borson's "short journey” reminds us of the role of poetry in shaping and deepening our engagement with the world.
