The color wheel

About this book

Through his widely praised collections of poems Timothy 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 brings together thirty-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."
