	Powell's Books - From Nature: Poems by Thomas Carper
		The fifty-nine poems in Thomas Carper's newest collection start at the beginning — childhood — and move from the concrete to the more abstract problem of presenting reality through artistic expression.
		A superb technician, Carper manages the demanding form with an ease, a late-20th-century naturalness, that can cause a reader to forget that the flowing, witty experience he is enjoying is happening in a tight formal structure that dates from the late Middle Ages...
		Until I discovered Thomas Carper's work, I had considered the contemporary American sonnet a half-moribund form, a vehicle one might use — at some risk — for an individual poem but not as the foundation for an entire oeuvre.

		The sequence's content includes Carper as narrator both identifying with and separating himself from the Japanese poet, this duality being reflected structurally in the sequence's individual sections, each of which is a combination of Carper's hallmark English sonnet followed by a modified haiku.
		While Carper from the beginning consciously conceived and planned "On Basho's Way" to be a coherent sequence (one long poem), in the two opening sections of From Nature, we witness an in-between period in the poet's development.
		I met Carper in the summer of 1997 at West Chester University where he was delivering a paper at the university's annual conference on form and narrative, and he affirmed I was right in reading "Painters, Musicians, Writers" as a single large poem.

	Review of Thomas Carper's Distant Blue, Mortensen
		Carper doesn’t try to dazzle you; he just steps up and tells it with gorgeous craft, as in this poem about a man whose suffering is tinged a little with irony.
		Carper is also a poet undeniably influenced by painters; many of his sonnets have the vivid clarity of a canvas by Poussin or Corot.
		Carper’s rendition of this in English is simple and elegant, with none of the stiffness one associates with translations that just miss.

		Thomas Carper sings in Renaissance trios, summers with his wife in the Loire Valley, is a professor at the University of Southern Maine, and is otherwise thankfully mysterious except in his vivid, elegant poems, some of which are included here:
		Encountering the Painter by Thomas Carper There is no mystery to the mountain, though Weather transforms each image of a tree, Each outline of a pinnacle, and so The painter must discover what to see.
		So while we watch the artist paint, and share His wish to capture what the mountain is, The shapes and textures alter as the air Deprives the clearest sight of certainties, Though careful brushwork labors to convey The solid world within the shades of gray.
