Combustible Light represents a poetic definition of the pastoral, bucolic, idyllic in its beautiful context (city and/or country), yet, as with Virgil, subverted by traits and characteristics of a world in which the writer himself and/or object itself, can not be whitewashed or obliterated by a pop-optimistic or romantic denial focusing on surface beauty alone. Knowledge, intuition, and the poet’s voice render beauty ‘combustible’ by the very nature of morality and transience. These poems run joyously immolate in the fire of language.
