Wolf Howl: Poems

Francis Blessington

4/5 ( ratings)

Wolf Howl is a poetry collection that explores nature, family, and love in sensuous, challenging ways. The book's title poem describes the elation felt by city dwellers who venture into the wilderness with rangers to hear the howl of wolves in the darkness. Blessington, who is a world traveler, classicist, and John Milton expert, writes also about locales as far-flung as Salvador and Scilla, the Isle of Man and North Carolina. His carefully constructed poems evoke the transcendence of a father seeing his son ice skate unassisted for the first time, of lovers who see their relationship anew amid the Everglades, of a visitor's response to the snapshots of long-dead workers in a coal-mine museum.
