Reviews
In these beautiful pages, his last gift to us, Stanley Plumly has gathered his beloveds in a single space: the landscapes, the poets, the light of evening, and 'the one true angel' of childhood. In poems so easy with cadence you might almost imagine that nature herself had invented the stately stanzas and the five-beat line. In prose so rapt with noticing you can almost believe the page remembers the tree it was. This is the poet's final blessing: to hold the precious world in two good hands and say goodbye., When Stanley Plumly died of cancer on April 11, 2019, I reread everything I could get my hands on, from In the Outer Dark to Against Sunset; the beautiful prose books, too. Nothing, or everything, prepared me for his Middle Distance. Scary, forthright, complete, by necessity in lines and in prose, Middle Distance is the book of Stan.

Synopsis
After a diagnosis of cancer, acclaimed poet Stanley Plumly found himself in the middle distance--looking back at his childhood in Ohio and a rich lifetime of family and friends, while gazing into a future shaped by the press of mortality. In Middle Distance , his final collection, he pushed onward into new territory in extended hybrid forms and revelatory prose pieces. Blending documentary and memoir with his signature Keatsian lyricism, he contemplated at every turn the horizons of his life. From "White Rhino" How long a life is too long, as I take my time from here to there, the one world dried- out distances, nose, horn, my great head lifted down, the tonnage of my heart almost more than I can carry . . ., After a diagnosis of cancer, acclaimed poet Stanley Plumly found himself in the middle distance--looking back at his childhood and a rich lifetime of family and friends, while gazing into a future shaped by the press of mortality. In Middle Distance , his final collection, he pushes onward into new territory with extended hybrid forms and revelatory prose pieces. The result is the moving culmination of a long career, a work of fearless, transcendent poems that face down the impending eternal voyage. Plumly populates this collection with tender depictions of poets, family, and friends--the relationships that sustained him throughout his life--as well as unflinching self-portraits. In "White Rhino," for instance, he adopts the voice of the "last of [his] kind," using the rare creature as a canvas to depict the dying, aging poet himself. In "Night Pastorals," he writes vividly and movingly about being on his deathbed, with fragmentary impressions of the other side. In profound lyric narratives, Plumly reaches out to a past that feels closer than ever, returning to the Ohio of his childhood and the shadows of a country at war. Blending documentary and memoir with his signature Keatsian lyricism, Middle Distance contemplates at every turn the horizons of Plumly's life.
