Ed Block's poetry is full of powerful images and rich language. In his nature poems, the flowers of spring bud like fireworks ready to burst, fall trees get naked for a wild romp with the wind, and crows in autumn become broken pieces of the night. Thus, the annual change of seasons becomes a metaphor for the changing seasons of a human life. Moments Strange, takes us on a journey from a nomadic childhood to the purposeful world travels of his young adulthood, and to the loss that we all experience as we age. The title poem precedes the several well-ordered sections, and sets a perfect tone for what follows: poems of the nitty-gritty everyday, of memories of home and faraway, of a life in large outline. Moments Strange is a poetic memoir to be savored.
