Publisher's Description
Anley's poetry is remarkable for its delicacy and beautifully crafted verse. His love of poetry springs from a purer source than most poets can draw on. It has little to do with "self-expression" or displaying his techniques or pressing his ideas on his readers. His poetry works through intuition and feeling and what Plato called "the further side of being." His poems reveal a sense of the inexhaustible richness of nature and the immense value of just looking steadily at things without prejudice or preconception, patiently waiting for them to yield up their secrets.

“The author’s love of poetry springs from a purer source than most poets can draw on. It has nothing to do with ‘self-expression’ or displaying his techniques or pressing his ideas on his readers. His poetry works through intuition and feeling.”
“Anley’s poems always have a definite and discoverable meaning. Although they often point beyond themselves, they are symbolic only in a sense of being evocative of particulate things and experiences. They can be read and reread with increasing pleasure.”
