To Take and Have Not: a Sequence of Idiomatic Poems Keith Moul

Poets naturally search for meaning in all acts and gestures, then invest themselves in the discoveries made. With To Take and Have Not, Keith Moul has concluded a very long examination of his own and others? psychological relationships. For more than thirty years, Keith has literally re-mastered numerous versions of these poems until each is truly complete. He calls them ?idiom? poems. Each begins with a common idiom that employs a ?to take? infinitive that must then be mined for original riches; each is an exposition of a male and female couple?s relationship; each enters new territory; each sets an objective suggested by the idiom used, then wrestles with discoveries. None of the poems offer answers to any questions.
