Testing the Elements

Bruce Meyer’s forté is to delve into the interconnectedness of our relationship with the physical and the spiritual. He is a poet channelling the music and suffering of the human experience and, beyond that, the spiral of cultivation and destruction that sustains and endangers humankind.

His poems are daring and artistically defying, composed with gravitas, powerful mindfulness, and reverence. His voice is mutable, each stanza like a window onto a multidimensionality that opens itself to both complexity and clarity.

Testing the Elements touches on themes such as bullying, growing up, maturity, age, love, and nature; it is poetry that is memorable and speaks to the human spirit about what it means to live and endure in the world.
