To Begin With, Feel Fortunate was written in part in the chaotic year running up to the election of the new president and is a passionate analysis of how we got to where we are as a nation, and what may be in store for us. As Peter has said in an interview, "You have to remember that even the poets who live in garrets are citizens, and I urge them to use their voices and partake in the actual goings-on of our country." Like William...

Watching Steffi beat Monica on tv at Fat Jack's in Provincetown I was seized with an urge as I sometimes am to write a syllabic poem on the spot which was none too clean and packed to the gills with elbows and shrimp Hey Sparky I yelled to the bartender you got a pen? Sure he said knowing my propensities make it ten syllables a line Well why not I said but on the other hand why? Because look this is the tenth game of the third set Sparky said ...

There is a little of the Ancient Mariner in the tenacity and urgency with which Peter Meinke addresses his readers. These poems get hold of us by the coat lapels and when they release us we are delighted, shaken, and considerably wiser". Ted Kooser

Meinke is a skilled craftsman. He is especially adept at building to a strong ending or the ending that shies the poem into an unexpected, but perfect place. He also has the most endearing kind of humor, the ability to laugh at himself." --Judith Hemschemeyer

Peter Meinke was a master of traditional poetic forms long before the current interest in 'the new formalism.' His work is, in turn, witty, comic, sane, deeply moving, and always readable. Liquid Paper collects the best of his previously published poems from the later 1960's on with a generous selection of new work.

Peter Meinke moves fluidly through free and formal shapes, taking the reader on a tour through America in the 21st century: family, politics, love, war and peace, old age and death are looked at in ways that are surprising, clear, and warm-hearted. Lit by flashes of anger and laughter as he surveys his territory from the vantage point of old age, the poems are, in the end, both sane and profound, set to Meinke's own music.

Die barocke Grundspannung von geistlich und profan nutzt der Jesuit Spee in seiner Gedichtsammlung «Trutz-Nachtigal» (1634) zur Ansiedlung seiner mystiktypischen Häresien. Ziel der dreigliedrigen Untersuchung - Braut-, Natur- und Passionsmystik - ist es, die Profanität als sehr bedeutsam für Spees Mystikauffassung auszuweisen. Die zeitgenössische Praxis der Hexenverbrennungen motiviert Spee, in seinen brautmystischen Vorstellungen für die Akze...

Passionate and compassionate, these poems are both deeply imagined and accessible to the general reader, focusing on personal and political life in American society.

The Piano Tuner exhibits strong and consistent writing throughout. Meinke's poetic skill is evident in his ability to jar a reader with a single line.... He provides insight at arm's length, asking not necessarily that the reader care about the characters yet almost forcing him to understand them.' -- Washington Post Book World
