About this book
“To read the poems in Murray Bodo’s Autumn Train is to take an incredible journey.” — Barbara Wuest, from the Foreword
Riding a metaphorical train and looking out the window, Murray Bodo practices the art of seeing: birch trees and clouds, inner-city streets and Assisi, the people he loves. Human suffering, fear, aging and death are all faced squarely in these poems, yet the “resurrected spirit” is never far away.
Here are poems for Lent, Good Friday and Easter, night thoughts, homages to Denise Levertov, Tomas Tranströmer and Henry James, St. Francis and St. Clare in Assisi, and a closing return to his New Mexico boyhood.
“His poetic diction is always nearly flawless.” — Thomas Krampf
