I discovered Edward Nobles' book "Through One Tear" on a list of Notable Books selected by the National Book Critics Circle. Every once in a while a book comes along to change the way we look at a journey and leave one changed. The long poem "Loss" is the best long poem I have read since T.S,.Eliot's "The Waste Land." It may be presumptuous to say so, but I think it is better. "Through One Tear is the most exciting book of poetry published in a long, long time. I strongly recommend it to anyone wishing to experience poetry working at its peak.
