The Box

Daril Bentley's poetry has been compared with that of such diverse poets as Robert Creeley, Robert Frost, Rolf Jacobsen, Mary Oliver, Wallace Stevens, and William Carlos Williams. "The Box" is the most compelling offering to date of this poet's eclectic and singular artistic vision. Broad ranging in subject matter, life experience, and intellectual exploration, there are poems here for the naturalist, the humanist, the cerebralist, the esthete, the casuist, and the general lover of poetry. With heft, humor, and humanity, these poems examine "the box" from within and from without.
