His Noble Numbers

His Noble Numbers collects new poems from George Klawittersmost recent work and a few poems written fifty years ago. The themesfocus on nature, memory, and the human condition. Some of thepoems are evocative of important world events, but most of the poemscommemorate people and events close to the author. The forms areoften tight, including several sonnets and a sestina, but meter is moreoften free flowing, carrying the natural rhythms of conversation. Many of the poems reflect Texas, especially the Texas Hill Country,where the author has spent the last seventeen years of his life.
