Poems by Edward Proffitt
Ed Proffitt's work is of the new period.
His poems are not merely word games like those of the last century; they
communicate actual human experience as well as being God forbid readable.
They are eclectic, mining the rich heritage of the past with a difference:
though he can handle free verse and disjunctive forms with the best, much
of his verse is metrical and even rhymed. However, his rhyming is usually
subtle and his meters experimental (e.g., he will play off against iambic
pentameter with a nine-syllable line). All in all, this is a poet of consummate
skill who has something to say that touches us all.
