This collection of accessible poems reads in the tradition of former U.S. Poet Laureates Billy Collins, Ted Kooser and Howard Nemerov, and their rhythms will remind readers of Ireland's Seamus Heaney. Robert Ferrier's experience as a published novelist is evidenced by clear, powerful imagery, tightly written stanzas and narrative structure within the longer poems.

Poetry should not be read on a phone. I told myself as much while downloading the Kindle version of Ferrier's RHYTHMS. Would it feel right, the paper page replaced by the same device on which I stream Netflix and play endless hours of Angry Birds? I wasn't sure if technology and poetry would meet on peaceful terms.Wonderfully, the words of RHYTHMS seem well-suited to the few moments I have to snatch a bit of poetry from the day, when only my phone is handy. My favorite, I'm sure, is "Lightning Struck Maple," in which a tree fights off death by "gnawing off limbs like a trapped animal," its determined roots tapping the sewer line and "drinking the debris of decades." Ferrier has a way of taking something stationary and putting it in motion.
I am an English instructor at a two-year college. The students here loathe poetry. But RHYTHMS contains the kind of brief, bright messages that make sense to them. As athletes, they can appreciate the humor and humanity of "Two-a-Days, August 1958" without feeling as if the poet is intentionally keeping them at bay. Too many poets pride themselves on being inscrutable. But my favorite poetry is that which appears simple on the outside but hides a labyrinth within. This can be said for many of the verses found in RHYTHMS. Ferrier warns us of such when he says in "Scavenger" that the poet "conjures alchemies / then swaddles the birth / in a scent of hope / and abandons the cradle / to strangers."
I have one complaint. The Kindle app on my phone is, of course, much smaller than the printed page, and so at times a poem's line breaks fall oddly, a casualty of the small screen size. Sometimes a line might lose some of its potency because the screen forces it to break in a way the poet never intended. Then again, sometimes poems do things beyond the poet's control, I suppose.
Fans of poetry--and there are still a few of us out there--may be missing out on a new favorite if they fail to give RHYTHMS a try. But be careful, because it's a slippery slope; I now have three books of poetry on my phone . . .

Rhythms edition by Robert Ferrier Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I enjoyed reading this book of poems because the descriptions of scenes of life and observations of nature were beautifully organized and leaves one with a deep insight of the author's feelings.
Robert Ferrier has compiled forty-two readable poems into a book titled "Rhythms." Poetry has never been my thing, but I am pleased to inform readers like me that these poems are very enjoyable to read and they will touch your emotions. The author combines words in a mixture not so precise as to limit your imagination or so suggestive as to not communicate. Enjoy.
