Similitude--meaning similarity, relationship, comparison--threads this new collection by Anaheim Poet Laureate and Prize Americana-winning author, Grant Hier. From the tightly woven, stand-alone sonic knots of the opening poems, to the mirrored diptych full-poem pairings in the section titled "To Anaphase" (the stage of cell division where chromosomes break and sister lines replicate to position themselves opposite, like a reflected image of the source)--on through to the final section of aphorisms and analogies, which are at once humorous and profound. The entire book Similitude, then, itself is similitude: a companion to Hier's previous collection, The Difference Between--all thoughtful, well-wrought poetry that simultaneously connects the unexpected and reveals to us places of resonance.
