SOFT AND HARD traverses the themes of love, sex, anger, and critique of the modern condition in a collection of original poetry. Varied in form, each poem searches out its own identity and natural language to change the common into the uncommon, the shallow into the deep, and the routine into a place of transformation. SOFT AND HARD contains 60 poems which stretch their eyes toward insight and their hearts toward freedom. The book is broken down into four sections: The Coast of Clouds, Scouring, Hot Spaces, and Trouble Sex. These poems span the range of human emotions and circumstance. Love is a common theme, from "jumping universes to the blink of the eye" in Lover of the Universe Beheld to witnessing the failure of love in the Atom Bomb. But not all is so serious, witness the confusion of friendship in Friends where the narrator ponders "friends / didn't we have sex?" My Body Looks Good hits on the nerve of body image. It illustrates how a personal hatred of one's body winds up affecting an entire community. The last section of the book is devoted to difficult sexual problems and proclivities. From the opening humor of Report on Sexual Issues, in which "Attendant reports the following problems during sex acts" all the way through to the "insurance agency / the loss of sound" in Firefly. SOFT AND HARD will soon have you seeing the unseen sides of many aspects of life. SOFT AND HARD, as any book of poetry, is difficult to explain in prose.
