American Poets Continuum #98: Splendor:by Steve Kronen
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Steve Kronen's poems explore the hardships that daily challenge the human heart. Some of the poems in Splendorfocus on our inescapable vulnerability due to aging or accident. Splendoralso includes love poems to the author's wife and daughter. Many of the poems are rhymed and metered and use formal elements such as sonnets, villanelles, a sestina, a Dantean canzone, nonce forms, and others. Steve Kronen's first book, Empirical Evidence(1992), won the Contemporary Poetry Series Competition. Poems from Splendorhave appeared in Poetry, The New Republic, The New Criterion, The Paris Review, Ploughshares, Agni, The Georgia Review, and elsewhere. Review:You'd have to look to Paul Muldoon to find a more outrageous end-rhymer than Kronen. Or a quieter one. Kronen works extensively in fixed (and some feral) forms, but his lines, like Muldoon's, tend to be so metrically irregular and heavily enjambed that even the full rhymes barely register. It's a deliberately subdued music, more for the mind than for the ear. "Splendor" is Kronen's first book in 14 years, and every poem in it, one senses, had to earn its spot on the roster. New York Times Book Review, 12/10/06 Synopsis:Sonnets, villanelles, sestinas and other forms exploring the daily struggles from which compassion and empathy arise.
