Murphy, Sheila A. / Nelson, Marilyn, ed. Fair warning: Leo Connellan and his poetry. Edited by Sheila A. Murphy & Marilyn Nelson. Tokyo, Japan; Ellington, CT: Printed Matter Press, 2011, stated First Edition, xiii, 212pp., PAPERBACK, cover price $18.00, very good, attractive copy appears unused. The poetry of Leo Connellan is a poetry of perseverance. He survived the loss of his mother as a child, and, forgoing his having completed a college degree, entered into the arena of American literature, whose territory is often enough overseen only by academics. However, his books continue to speak for themselves, and more importantly, not just for poetry, but for America herself. Connellan begins his book-length poem, Crossing America, with these autochthonous and memorable lines: "We hitchhiked America. we still think of her. // I walk the old streets thinking I / see her, but never7/ New buildings have gone up./ The bartenders who poured roses/ into our glasses are gone./ We are erased." Crossing America, with respect to literary achievement alone, truly belongs next to its fictional counterpart, Jack Kerouac's On the Road -- Leo is the best poet to come out of Maine, and that includes Edna St. Vincent Millay, Robert P. Tristram Coffin, and Edwin Arlington Robinson. He was the true poet laureate of Maine, gritty and loving, sad and laughing, but always the best. -- Kendall Merriam, poet and playwright, and friend of Leo's from Rockland, Maine.
