Claudia Emerson reviews In Confidence

In Jim Tilley's In Confidence, we see the internal and external workings of the world through a mature poets multifaceted lens.

Crafting his poems with formal care, Tilley always aims for the clearest vision one can imagine, whether looking through the intricacies of scientific reasoning, the perennial memories that accompany aging, or the unexpected, undeniable logic of the metaphor out there in the snow.
