Turning Pages is J L Carey Jr's collection of existential poems which revolve around the mythological Japanese priest, Ajari - Joan. Legend states that the priest lived in a temple at the top of a mountain (Hakkotsu - San), but after entering the village at the base, fell in love with a beautiful young woman. Ajari - Joan broke his vows only to go insane, cursed with wandering the mountain until, in his old age, he regained his wits, sat down and began to pray. As the priest died his bones continued to pray and it is said that one can still hear his haunting chants today on Skeleton Mountain.
Turning Pages eBook J L Carey Jr
J L Carey Jr's voice in Turning Pages is distinctive and clear. His poems cover a range of subjects, including love, self-worth, sadness, and beauty. The numinous quality of his poems is undeniable, speaking to what I imagine are some universal truths of the human experience. The sensuous quality of his work, evident in "Hydrometer Floating" (my favorite poem in the collection), is extraordinary.The intelligence and heart involved in the construction of Turning Pages is immediately apparent to the reader. The key figure of the book, Ajari-Joan is joined by other mythological and historical figures, symbols, and philosophies lending to the *texture* of Carey's work. Throughout the book, references made to mythological figures and historical persons are explained and contextualized, giving the reader the opportunity to be absorbed in the stories.
Turning Pages is an accessible collection of poetry that is neither imposing nor invasive. The poems in this collection tell a unique story that is sure to speak to the sensibilities of poetry lovers and writers everywhere. This sort of poetry, I think, requires the reader to welcome the message. When the message is gotten, it is sweet, sweet, sweet. Certainly, I would recommend Turning Pages to friends, family, and anyone else. I believe that virtually all readers would be able to find a connection to Carey's words, exploring the meaning of life and living right alongside him.
In sum, pick it up y'all!
