The Lacquer of Summer: Poems

The voice changes. The intimation, the accent, the breathwork, the place in the body remain the same. 'The Lacquer of Summer' is a subtle departure from Penney's last collection: 'Ungrateful Magic' finding the author in a rich vein of form. Prolific as always, but slightly more experimental, This collection has all the earmarks of Penney's poetic voice but, explores a wider array of topics. From Antiques and unearthing pottery to watching the world collapse in on itself from a patio in Provence. If his last few collections were walks around the inside of his head, this venture is Penney showing he is willing and able to walk out the door with you, take a few steps and bask in the lacquer of Summer.
