Book Description
Firmly rejecting the unabashed subjectivity and accompanying impenetrability of much contemporary verse , Alan Holder’s Sky Gazer, from first to last, makes its poems steadily available to the reader, assumed to be “a creature of feeling” and addressed directly. The reader is onboard for a train ride or in-step for a woodland walk. It continually registers that great commonality of human experience, the four seasons. The poems share the sights that come the poet’s way—so much of what he sees assumes the status of spectacle—the source of many of those arresting sights being the heavens, which Holder never tires of contemplating. He has a fondness for long, winding verse sentences; some poems consist of but a single one. Again and again, Holder alludes, sometimes implicitly, to works by great figures of the literary past—Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth, Tennyson, Melville, Twain, Yeats, Frost, Stevens, Eliot, Dylan Thomas—using them as springboards to go his own way. Repeatedly, his poems raise questions that do not admit of answers. Sky Gazer takes seriously one of the prescriptions for poetry that Stevens sets forth in Notes toward a Supreme Fiction: “It Must Give Pleasure.” “Firmly rejecting the unabashed subjectivity and accompanying impenetrability of much contemporary verse, Alan Holder’s Sky Gazer, from first to last, makes his free form verse steadily available to the reader, assumed to be ‘a creature of feeling’ and often addressed directly.

Book Description
To his surprise and growing confusion, he realized that the sled wasn’t a sled at all. It was made out of lettuce. Without a doubt. It was clearly multiple sheets of lettuce sewn together by some kind of rope. The sled came to a complete stop and as his eyes wandered across the sled, he nearly fell back in surprise upon spotting a muscular carrot with arms and legs. “Oy! Stare at someone else!” snapped the carrot. “Yeah!” snapped another voice. Zach looked over at another muscular carrot, who was standing in front of the first. Then, Zach became aware of the fact that the entire sled was being pulled by muscular carrots, who all possessed human-like features such as arms, legs, faces, and green hair. “What exactly is going on here?” asked Zach curiously. “On is going nowhere!” snarled one of the carrots. “What…?” said Zach. “Nor is what!” said another carrot. “The only thing that is going anywhere is us!” laughed a third.
