PANOPTICON

by PAUL FARRAR LAWLESS

"Every creative artist impresses upon his work the quality of his in most life. With Paul Farrar Lawless that quality is suffused with the wonder and mystery that lies at the heart of life. His poems are seeds, bearers of life-and so he defines them-charged with the forces that carry them from darkness into the light. Varied in mood and manner, one underlying quality pervades them. They are Hamlet-like in their sense of the wonder and mystery of life. They address themselves to the soul rather than the mind, not so much by what they say as by what they inwardly convey. To receive these poems in one's heart like so many seeds will be to know a joyous fruitage of both truth and beauty."
