Through the Silence

David Elliott's third book of poetry, *Through the Silence,* gives the reader a meditative, tranquil experience rarely seen in poetry today. Rising through traditional haiku, non-traditional haiku, haiku-esque longer forms, and lyrical poems, Elliott's voice, grounded in precise perceptions, resonates within the reader and rises toward a quiet intensity upon each reading. The poems’ many subjects and concerns range from the natural world to family, friendship, travel, language, and poetry itself. This book must be lived and experienced by all who seek meaning through the silence.
