About Lost Spiral of Years:
"Reeves Keyworth's . Lost Spiral of Year:s is a surprising,
delightful collection that masterfully weaves voice, place,
and time to create a vernacular .that is wholly the poet's
own. Compelling, sometimes astounding characters drive
the poems, casting 'an ancient· spell going in circles at the
fingertips,' as in the poem 'Before Marriage.' The poems
are intricate and complex; but not discouraging, intelligent
yet playful, and ultimately pmyerful. Whether lyrical braitjs or
narrative conversations, the poems reveal 'a new and ancient
air,' as in the poem 'Duet,' leaving. us suddenly world-wise
and full of wonderin a word: breathless."
