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.
