Watching Whisteria (Poetry)

<p>Poetry. Well, decades passed as decades do, and Duane Locke at a robust 90 years of age continues to write at an astounding rate. A few years ago he pioneered poetry on the Web and as of this introduction has published over 6,500 poems in print and on the Web. He continues to photograph blue egrets, snakes, spiders and beetles in his lusty Florida environment and knocks out the occasional dozen paintings or so whenever he gets the urge. One of Locke's first publishers, Fred Wolven, said years ago: "Duane Locke is a classic example of a writer who successfully utilizes knowledge as a noted amateur nature photographer and a Renaissance scholar in establishing his mark as a contemporary poet."</p>

Duane Locke: The First Decade (1968-1978)

The Bitter Oleander Press

Poetry. Still writing well beyond his 96th year, Duane Locke's most recent collection, THE STELLA POEMS, invites the reader to accompany him through a thoughtful though sad journey across the landscape of our current trends and the reactions these trends have on our relationships not only with other human beings but with the wide-open natural world as well. As always, there is an impeccable imagery when our poet guides us through this natural world and we see for the first time what was right in front of us had we only opened our eyes. Which is also why we can always expect to be amazed. Though a twist on Sir Philip Sydney's Astrophel & Stella, Locke's ability to make contemporary the kind of love it takes to exist in this world is, as usual, exceptional.
