Fathering the Map: New and Selected Later PoemsAs I slowly make my way through all that Pack has to offer I was advised that I should slow down lest I overdose I m not sure it s possible to overdose on the magnificence of Pack s descriptions of the natural world or the relatable way the continuous expansion of the universe fills him with both wonder and anxiety or the raw emotion that is practically dripping from his depictions of love and loss. Fathering the mapyourtaxes It Would Have Been Enough and Mountain Ash Without Cedar Waxwings in particular were like the ache of reaching for someone you love only to realize they have been gone for years Pack s work is always a revelation and I continue to be amazed at how he can leave me marveling at the microscopic beauty in a vast universe or the infinite importance of a patterned sea shell Poetry

Poetry wrote Wordsworth is the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge it is the impassioned expression which is the countenance of all Science Robert Pack s new book is a heady mixture of the finer spirit A selection from his last five books along with a collection of new poems Fathering the Map takes us from the personal reflections distilled in the lyrics of Waking to My Name 1980 to the worldly reckonings of Inheritance 1992 and back again In the dramatic monologues of Faces in a Single Tree 1984 in the narrative of a wayward life from womb to double ending in Clayfield Rejoices Clayfield Laments 1987 in a cosmic tour conducted by the physicist Heinz Pagels with Before It Vanishes 1990 Pack has fashioned poems of intimate experience scientific meditations philosophical wonder poems that breathe the knowledge of man and woman young and old artist and human animal Pack s work has won the acclaim of writers critics and readers from Robert Penn Warren to Cynthia Ozick to Stephen Jay Gould who comments that the precious contacts of science and poetry are now sadly rare but Bob Pack revitalizes the ancient union with incisive poems that sing with lyricism or bite with insight but always seem to add wisdom to the scientist s epigram The poet improves his style and spirit as he extends his reach Howard Nemerov has written and in his new work Pack reaches back to some of his earliest memories and so forward to a personal mythology that circles from the primal instant to the present ecological crisis Robert Pack s poetry is deeply rooted in his won family life Richard Wilbur has remarked and yet his imagination has always included us all And Cynthia Ozick has said of Pack s We rejoice as we read Fathering the Map New and Selected Later Poems.
