Meeting a local woman at a service project in Appalachia, the narrator of Mike Carson's poem "Muse" hears from her "Those words, iron twang of loss," that "cut soft ideas of beauty out." Carson's lean, spare collection The Keeper's Voice unflinchingly engages those hard ideas of beauty, of goodness.
Direct and often colloquial in their language and traditional in their forms -- blank verse,...
Mike Carson was the first holder of the Melvin M. Peterson Chair in English Literature at the University of Evansville, where he teaches medieval and Renaissance English, specializing in Shakespeare and Milton. His poems have appeared in many journals, including the Southern Review, Five Points, and the New Virginia Review.
