Remember
“Absolutely riventing!”
I had read several of Kenneth Weene’s novels but have not known that he also writes poetry. When told about his new poetry collection, Remember, I immediately requested a copy. Weene’s two defining characteristics as a novelist are that he drives a strong narrative and is endlessly inventive.
Remember is certainly not like Weene’s novels in which the sweep of events creates huge tapestries that barrel toward their climax. Still, there are certainly strong narrative elements to some of his poems. These elements tell the stories of moments, an emotions, or a states of being rather than a series of interrelated events. The first poem in the book, “Waiting,” is as sensual and intense as any passage in any novel: “This moment redolent with wine and figs and sweetness/waiting and finding this memory of love.”
—Thomas Davis, award-winning poet and novelist
