Through the ages, people, like metal heated in a forge, have been shaped by the family they are born into and those they meet as they journey through life. They are molded by the times in which they live, culture, and shared experiences. Singing the Forge by G. H. Mosson captures that human experience in a diverse collection of lyrical poems that explores it all.
Broken down into three sections--Departure Songs, Melodies From the Mirror, and Hearing My Own Hum--we travel through the moments of childhood and adulthood. We visit places. We connect with people, their lives, loves, and losses. We glance into the looking glass and see ourselves reflected in the verses that unfold. Mosson's collection is deep. It's real. It touches us where we are most vulnerable. In some places, my mind felt too feeble to understand the author's meaning. In others, it was crystal clear. In the end, I knew this was a collection I would treasure and read again.
I can't say right now if the recurring "Whistler's Sketchbook" poems or those about the soldier in World War I, France, affected me more.
If you love touching, deeply affecting poetry collections, you must read Singing the Forge.
