The poems in "Red Strawberry Leaf "speak in a voice unique in American letters, moving effortlessly beyond arbitrary city limits and national borders, transcending trends, continents, and eras to connect individual states of mind to the whole of Western culture. Written over seven years, "Red Strawberry Leaf "meditates on the spirit's engagement with the world in an allusive, personal style, in which neither the personal nor the tribal holds pride of place. Scattered touches of apocalypse and dark collective inventories serve only to highlight moments of burnished, lyric brilliance. These challenging poems will reward readers many times over.

Industry Reviews

"Sometimes it seems like Peck is equipped with a pair of X-Ray Spex devised by a mad-scientist version of some synoptic historian of the West, a Victor Frankenstien crossed with a Hegel or an Arnold Toynbee. Whatever he looks at, he sees past the surface and into its historical and cultural context."--Robert Archambeau "Pleiades"
