Blue Hour

Carolyn Forch is one of Americas most important contemporary poets. Blue Hour is a visionary book, and includes On Earth, a extraordinary long poem, a meditation on human existence and life on earth. Jane Miller called Blue Hour a masterwork for the 21st century. John Bayley said that reading these poems is an experience as calmly and restfully beautiful as looking at a group of related impressionist canvasses, like those of Monet.
