 | You Can See It from Here by Jerry Wemple
In his first book, Jerry Wemple writes from that vast space on the map between Pittsburgh & Philadelphia, observes Julia Kasdorf. This region of forests, coal mines, farms & small towns can be as hard & silent as stone, yet in his departures & returnings, Wemple makes even its bars & bigots sing. Gary Fincke adds that these poems begin nearby & move us out & away from ourselves into the larger world. A sense of place & the people who inhabit it is strong in this collection, the seventh annual winner of the Naomi Long Madgett Poetry Award. Roy Campanella, Spanish Frankie, Jimmy Red, the coke dealer`s brother, & other characters inhabit baseball fields, pool halls, bars, churches, various workplaces & cars headed for nearby Camden in a small town drama in which all are human & vital. Wemple, who grew up in Pennsylvania & southwestern Florida & later served in the U.S. Navy & worked or studied in Massachusetts & Vermont, has recently returned to his native Susquehanna Valley & currently teaches English at Bloomsburg University.
