His Noble Numbers

His Noble Numbers collects new poems from

George Klawitters
most recent work and a few poems written fifty years ago. The

themes
focus on nature, memory, and the human condition. Some of

the
poems are evocative of important world events, but most of the

poems
commemorate people and events close to the author. The

forms are
often tight, including several sonnets and a sestina, but meter is

more
often free flowing, carrying the natural rhythms of conversation.
Many of the poems reflect Texas, especially the Texas Hill

Country,
where the author has spent the last seventeen years of his life.
