Andres Chavez ndrew14efc2 — Set us falling with your first notes Into a somber mode of thinking Knowing you mean to lift with contrasts Into a sprightlier spirit dance. Then Kettle us with trumpets in the distance Into a quavering of panic, Quell the panic with emerging Hope for equilibrium. Poetry has often been associated with music and vice versa. The rhythms and the soul-wrenching phrases of both media speak so well to the spirit. It is not unusual, then, to find both reflected in one; music described and being used as metaphors in poetic tribute to life. Tony Cosier does just that in his recent book of poetry, The Spirit Dances. The first part of the book is a selection of poems about ordinary living, ordinary life. School Ending and Playing Fields are a series of short poems reflecting common occurrences in one’s early years. The French Teacher is a short verse about a single person and yet, even this poem uses metaphors of music and he ends the poem with: Of lives so clear their every thought is a song. At the end of the book, music takes precedence. Missa Solemnis is five long poems reflecting on the last great work by Ludwig van Beethoven, his monumental Mass in D. The music obviously stirred the poet’s spirit to write such words as: You build the ground for voices And remind us who we listen to. You are the composer of the great symphonies Virtuoso of the instrument. - Sanctus Trumpetblare drumburst Strings in a frantic wave Heave and roll with a flurry of voices, Break in a lasting Gloria. - Gloria Beethoven’s music spoke to Cosier and he responded in verse. What was intended to be a short poem to praise this final masterpiece, became in over twenty pages (in five parts) a fitting tribute to a music and a composer who continues to touch the spirit of so many people. Music and poetry. Poetry and music. One and the same. Not one without the other. The Spirit Dances reflects on life and how music is such a vital part of living. In praise of the human spirit, Cosier reflects on how life and music merge as one in his poetry. Reviewed by award-winning author, Emily-Jane Hills orford
