    ...This leads to the counter-argument posed by Howard White in his introduction to Ghost in the Gears on the subject of "what makes poetry poetry," he writes:

    "I'm struck with the inappropriateness of placing many of these pieces in anything so static and exclusive, as this pricey little book - for most of them I would have preferred a spot on the local breakfast broadcast or editorial page where they might have provided a chuckle or a moment of reflection and been disposed of. In our world, those are the spaces most in need of what poetry has to offer, the frontier where the battle for cultural survival must be renewed, and my best hope for this motley, collection is that it contains a few steps toward the kind of poem that could do that work."

    White's folksy manifesto moved me and alarmed me at the same time. His poems are admirable, ethical, warm, humane, self-deprecating, accessible. I'm glad he is speaking, and I'm pleased to read his book.
    -Margaret Sweatman
