All I Want Is a Walk-On Part
The writing of poetry is most often a calling of youth – passionate, distracted, purblind – rather than that of age, with its clarity, credible regret, and wisdom. What we may need more of is a senior poetry, a poetry of genuine felt experience that is for everybody, not just ‘Seniors.’ Lamonte Palmer’s work fits this description eloquently. In All I Want Is a Walk-On Part, Palmer, in his seventies, faces full-on the big questions – of Love, of the difficulty and rewards of relationships with others, of work – and seeks the answers and the redemption that prove available.
“…subtle tragedy of couples, rejoicing in the face of death, as in “When Youre Gone.” I admit to having cried.” — Julie Genet, Hour “Rueful, sardonic, coming to grips with the ridiculous comedy of old age…” — New Edinburgh News
