by Michael Collings
In this collection, Collings offers verses-forty by true count-ranging in theme from inner strug-gles with serious deafness (and, worse, tinnitus) to the superficial, whipped-cream standards of the world. "White noise" becomes a comprehensive metaphor-we watch as perpetual static both destroys and builds; grants chances to withdraw, explore; conceals while purporting to disclose. The poems touch on sanity and madness, private constructs and wider social pose, language and political correctness.
