Review
Rivers of Time - Collected Poems
by Cy Grant

Naked Light 2008, 95pp £7.00 p.b

Reviewed in Network Review of the Scientific and Medical Network Winter 2009.

These poems span a period of over 60 years, and are ably introduced by Ian Dieffenthaller. Some describe his experiences in the air force during the war, while others reflect wider philosophical concerns, his interests in the Tao Te Ching and his role as a champion of the dreaming black soul in a white materialistic culture. Cy makes very creative use of language and rhythm. Here is the first part of his poem Silence

To say that which is unsaid
is like throwing a pebble
breaking the pool of silence

words alone are as inadequate
as a lack of words

silence is not a lack of words.
tears dissolve the eyes
as love the senses

The poems are powerful and evocative, showing how words and their combination can reach beyond normal explicit meanings.
