Ranging in form from sonnet to free verse, from meditative to dialog poems, Weathers Permitting explores the themes of friends, family, and faith. Whether contemplating a joyful holiday or a dying friend, a missing child or house repairs, Stephen Sandy follows the twists and turns of the mind, bringing us to unexpected insights and everdeepening awareness. Religious faith occupies the core of this tightly focused collection, and poems such as 'Stable' recalling the changes in a family's Christmas ornaments over the years reveal a reassuring togetherness in the forbidding environment of our time, through lyrical affirmations of celebration among darkening shadows.Sumptuous diction, vivid detail, and highly wrought lines are hallmarks of Sandy's style. Here they serve to move us toward a fresh appreciation of the intricacies of human relationships.The projector jumps, the foxes around her neck,not rabid, are holding on, each biting, glasseyed,the other's tail. She clambers to the running boardof the Franklin, smiles at us, steps to the house to makea start. Cut to the fence, the hollyhocks,and Roddy the red setter nipping sipsfrom the sprinkler spurting; harnessed, pulling Mopsiein the red wagon, wagging for his master, who looksthen catches all of them lolling below the smoke.In Florida once, he filmed a shambling bearwho danced who jigs for us still in his grim gear.Stop by the fencing, child, and slowly meet them,a world within the world, a garden walkto take with them to the portiere, the parlor, scentof humidor unlidded. They pose on the stepsdoffing golf caps, and none may read their moving lips. 'Home Reel'
