The Color Wheel

Timothy Steele

Publication Date

Through his widely praised collections of poems Thimpthy Steele has earned the reputation as one of the most highly regarded poets born since World War II who continue to work in meter. Now Steele bring together thrity-five new poems that extend the scope and deepen the spirit of his previous work.

While always faithful to the richness and complexity of experience, the poems in The Color Wheel are clear and accessible. They blend imagistic detail and reflection and bring to contemporary subjects what Steele calls "the preservative virtues of formal care."

Reviews

One of the finest contemporary poets to write in meter and traditional forms.... Steele's work has a clarity of thought and a precise phrasing of language that is stunningly poised.

If Timothy Steele is not a nom de plume, it deserves to be, for his poems celebrate daily transience in such durably crafted shapes that they become tempered blades of grass, in the American grain but in a field of art that our poets have too little cultivated.
