Living in the Counterpoint directly from Finishing Line Press |
“Michael T. Young has crafted a metaphysics of memory in all its ache and luster. These poems pin down ghosts; finger the stirrings of nostalgia and its seeming perpetuity. Through a yearning to define those feelings most elusive, Young succeeds in unveiling them. Living in the Counterpoint coaxes introspection and haunts like a summer dusk, it is a true achievement.”
–Benjamin Evans Executive Editor, Fogged Clarity “With the deftness of a magician, Michael T. Young moves us seamlessly between point and counterpoint, so seamlessly that we are almost unaware of the shifts from the living to the dead, from light to dark, near to far, and early to late. In tightly crafted gem-like poems, he contemplates fossils, diamonds, headstones, rivers, bridges, and even a slug, ultimately achieving and imparting ‘a deep knowledge of the earth.’” –Diane Lockward, Poet Laureate of West Caldwell, NJ and author of Temptation by Water |

"Michael T. Young’s exquisitely crafted poems celebrate durable materials like glass, metal, and stone. Yet there is a pervasive aching awareness of human transience, frailty, and love underlying his elegant surfaces. A rich and accomplished debut.”
