THE HALF-LIFE, is the third book of Poetry by Roger Greenwald, presented in three sections whose titles suggest movements in different keys: “Body Dreams,” “Home on the Range,” and “Open Water.”
It is essentially a book of loss; its leitmotif is melancholy. Memories stream in from different spaces and time zones. Dreams, love, separation, longing, chagrin, chance encounters, and journeys are all themes that are woven into poems in this amazingly engaging book. This is a poet who has seen and experienced life’s many cycles: its panic, pain, pleasure, paradoxes, and perplexities.
"The Half-Life is a terrific book. I love its formal dexterity and high intelligence. Roger Greenwald has created interiorities that are musically engaging while evoking a brilliant and complex personality." -Reviewed by Kevin Prufer
