Description CATCHING LIGHT is a record of individual vision, a way of seeing and relating personal experience. Although the poems are sometimes "seen" from the past, the actual writing covers the years 1969 to June, 1973. The collection is unified in several ways. In general, the poems are placed chronologically and represent development of technique and observation. Words or images are echoed from poem to poem in an associational relationship in order to strengthen the sense that this is a continuous poetic vision. The use of space on the page to represent silence also unifies this collection. The space between sections within a poem and the space (or time-for-turning-a-page) between poems belong to the reader. Hopefully, these silences intensify the experience of, or confrontation with, the words of the poems. The major concern of the poems is human relation-· ships: one person's experience with other. people, with objects, with time and place, and especially with self. The striving is toward hope.
