Influenced by such poets as Lowell, Roethke, Bishop, Frost, Stevens, and inspired by the sacred books of various faiths, Chuck O'Neil's poems speak with elegant, plainspoken reverence. They bear witness to history with clarity and compassion. They affirm hope and seek out the transformation of anger and regret.Backstory sings praise for the blessings of a life lived in the present moment, all the while bringing healing to the past and embracing the future. You could be tempted On a morning like this, When trees lift leaves and sway, To believe in halcyon days again -That somehow, in the face of all you know About chaos and creaturehood, These high, breezy, sun-soaked days Could be your red-letter days: So weary are you now of Dousing everything with doubt.So great is your desire for Equilibrium, Wings.from Red-letter Days
