Waiting for Magic
Wayne Mason
Covert Press
24 pgs
available at www.covertpress.com

Jack Henry is OW's Poet of the Month!  You can read some of his own fine poetry on these pages!  Thanks, Jack!

I've heard of Wayne Mason, but I've never read Wayne Mason.  Other than a
few poems here and there, on line and elsewhere, the opportunity to sit and
read a complete, however slim, is welcome.

And I wasn't disappointed.

Mason has a strong voice and sense of self within the context of his
writing.  Vivid, clear and well written, each poem seemingly unfolds a
different facet of the writer's persona.

Strongly based in a blue collar work ethic, Mason brings the factory workers
world to life.


In "Car Poem" Mason reveals the reality of a working persons life.

       Standing over
       massive guts
       of my car
       racing sunlight
       to get the beast running
       to haul me to work
       one more day

Mason also reveals a more subtle, delicate side about being a father.

       From "Comassionate Liar."


       ".And, now a father
       I realize he was
       making it up as
       he went along

       Like me"

This is a very strong book from a superb Dharma writer.
