Same for the first poem, 'Miracle', which seems to bring in multi-layered meanings, and concentrates a density which is still transparent. Hard to achieve this.

Like Ruth, I was especially moved by the spare design and deep meaning of "Moonlight on the Bosphorus."Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-50828102725052826052012-10-21T13:22:48.964+01:002012-10-21T13:22:48.964+01:00Thank you for your generous comments, Ruth.

I suspect we're both trying to touch the same thing. I look forward to reading more of your work in the future.Mailfordjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13698850302841197711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-11975466525179073062012-10-21T10:44:39.425+01:002012-10-21T10:44:39.425+01:00Yes, there's a precise imagination at work her...Yes, there's a precise imagination at work here, isn't there?The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-61742333331240211112012-10-21T09:26:27.635+01:002012-10-21T09:26:27.635+01:00There is a far-reaching confidence in David's ...There is a far-reaching confidence in David's poems, the kind of leaps I hope for, with quiet understanding. Very satisfying indeed. Of course the one on the Bosphorus really struck a chord. When we lived in Istanbul, I don't know how many ferry sinkings were reported, but too many. And I have to say here to David, you got the sense perfectly that I have had about any sort of rescue effort when we lived there: <i>this assumption of drowning</i>. Wow.
