Heart Matters

In this new collection of his poetry written since 2004, Greene does indeed explore those matters closest to his heart, both the personal and, increasingly, the social and political. Ranging over subjects light and profound, at times amused and at others outraged, he is everywhere intensely alive to the experience of life itself, and all the reasons, as he says at one point, to love this world. In verse that is spare but never sparse, he opens our hearts along with his own.
