What sort of poems will you find in 'The Rain Stands Tall' by the author of 'The Warp', Neil Oram? Well, covering a period of over fifty years they seem to occupy their own created space. This seems central to Oram’s poetics. If it doesn’t evoke freshness then pass on (Yes To The Fresh was the title of Oram’s last book of poems). How the feeling and knowledge of Yes-ness responds to the sad world of hidden and overt negativity is a major theme to these poems selected by the author. And to the sensitive and discerning reader there is a deep current of humour flowing through the blasts and sonnets and Dustbin Blues. Blasts, Blessings and Blues. Sonnets and feuds. Epics and one-liner-truths. All these expressions are to be found The Rain Stands Tall. It is a large collection amounting to one hundred and eighty poems gleaned from an output stretching well over half a century… but there is no hint of a chronological order. Such a presentation allows each poem to breathe within its own sensitive space outside of daily time. It is quite clear that these poems were never designed to please well-adjusted devotees of the conned-senses-‘mind’. Being as they are, these poems have no affinity with any of the cozy, lullaby traditions. Instead they celebrate what it’s like being awake to what is. This has frequently meant walking away from the many lures concealing soul-numbing domesticity. Surviving betrayals and one heart-break after another, without blaming or complaining, seems to be a choice-less part of the training to be a real being. Real beings are required to appreciate real poetry.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. it allows the greatest possible combination of words The poetry is relaxed By Mr. Philip R. Whiting Neil – the consummate Renaissance man – has written plays, novels and poetry, and is a visual artist and storyteller. Of all those media, poetry is the most intense, the most personal, and his strongest – perhaps precisely because it is so intense and personal. It is also the most difficult form of writing to review, because it is the most fluid; it allows the greatest possible combination of wordsThe poetry is relaxed, but hard-to-get-at; because it is apparently simple yet highly abstract. It is also replete with physical referents which give it a personal touch that is almost keeping alive some ancient contact with the human spirit which is trampled in the city's brazen swell.Beauty is Goodness, is Truth, is Strength, is Love; the formula of the Greeks is inherent. There is no Freedom without Truth in Neil’s poetry. While others may see the root of Freedom as a reaction to social injustice, to Neil it is a profoundly spiritual issue, which sidesteps polarized materialistic views, and is clearly anti (because beyond) political. Here politics is the corpse ; decay and narcissism.Spiritual Truth and Freedom are found in two places : rigorous self-examination and unadorned nature. Unadorned nature has a sacred quality in this poetry. The wildness of Neil’s Highland home is evident in the title and in many phrases recalling – the earth, the wind, the rain and the snow.There is hope and dejection. There is belief in Love and sorrow at the wastefulness of life and the shallowness of the mainstream. But again, it is not political, it decried as a wasted spiritual opportunity. There is exasperation rather than anger. There is recognition of a silent nodding awareness. The Tao which can be spoken is not the Tao; and the Taoism is intuitive rather than formulaic. Lines such as are clearly redolent of the English Christian mystic, William Blake, in or next to whose old house in London, Neil once lived.The collection is neither random nor categorized; the paper is a warm hue not a sterile white, the text is large, and the cover is soft. These things are all as they should be and serve as indicators for the interior; my words also can be no more than that. Dive in !
