Poetry. While it is tempting to get caught up in the frank passion, the asperity and the gall of these poems, Harry Staley disrupts such a reading with a wink and a nudge. A masterwork of persona, ALL ONE BREATH is actually many breaths: the reconstructed Charles McCaffrey, the retired, laconic Professor Kelly, the lost Uncle Orville and others. At the center is an unstoppable wit and erudition, masked by an exacting, deceptively effortless use of language, of sound and sense. ALL ONE BREATH is among the few collections of poetry which deserve to be called essential.
