He Sees Things

Emmett Wheatfall is a poet who offers readers his second collection of poetry titled "We Think We Know." This a follow up to his first published book of poetry "He Sees Things." Anyone reading his poetry will come to enjoy his wordly contemplations as set forth poetically. His world, whether metaphorical or analogous is at times subtle and contrived, full of meaning and wonder. The reader is given the opportunity to enter into an imaginative world where things thought to be known are not necessarily as one might think they will appear--hence, "We Think We Know." In this his second collection of poetry, the depth and variety of perspective placed in poetic context challenges the reader to think in new and fresh ways. Lovers of good poetry are encouraged to challenge what they think they know. Most certainly emmett's imagination and collect of poetry will make room for such revelation. Emmett is one of America's new and talented poets.

We Think We Know

Emmett Wheatfall shows us how the roots of love grow deep in the soil of sacrifice. He illustrates the intensely complex relationship between idealism and realism. His poems hurt in just the right way. And it's no small feat opening one's own racial and cultural wounds for the world to see. It takes courage. It takes trust that a country will recognize itself, and its complicity, in those wounds. And Wheatfall trusts us to witness along with him. He proves himself ready and willing, even eager, to, as the titular poem in this collection demands, "build a new world" together.

With Extreme Prejudice: Lest We Forget is Emmett Wheatfall's latest foray into observational truth-telling. This collection bears witness to the early arrival and historicity of the COVID-19 pandemic, which Wheatfall elegantly describes as The greatest hitchhiker on earth ... / making its rounds ("Every Nation Under The Sun"). In poem after poem, he explores both the ongoing fear of a disease that has taken at least a million lives as well as the hope for that brighter future we all yearn for. -Carolyn Martin, from the Foreword
