San Francisco's outerlands is where the city's once barren dunes end at the Pacific. The poet walks there religiously most mornings, remembering his past, recalling some of the places and people, the art and the artists he has most treasured, while brooding on those ultimate concerns that have obsessed him since childhood, the oldest questions that have no answers. The Outerlands is where life, like the land, ends and finds itself at its outermost reaches where death, like the sea, begins.
The Outerlands Peter Weltner 9781938144035 Books
Peter Weltner is a born poet. After writing half a dozen or so novels and story collections (all of which are excellent), he has claimed and honed his poetic voice. The language is luscious, the poems overlaid, intimate and inclusive.Many of the poems begin with personal memory, intimate details, then segue into reflections about events throughout the world. This is a natural, inevitable progression: Weltner does not experience his life, thoughts and emotions as isolated. He is equally attuned to and immersed in the physical world, which is a strong presence in every poem.
Most of Weltner's poems are not linear or circular in content or "meaning." His key themes are love, loss, mortality, existentialism and an inability to find religious faith. Memory, observation, event, image, association build on each other, resulting in a rich melding of these visceral, vulnerable, thoughtful poems and whatever each reader finds in or brings to them.
Peter Welter is a formidable intellect; in The Outerlands he invites us into an inner life and heart that are no less fierce.
