Praise for Sailing the Bright Stream David Manning's new collection, Sailing the Bright Stream, is an immersion into shimmer and revelation, the lyric circumnavigation over not just water, but terra firma-the often intimidating, yet familiar and cherished, geography of the querulous heart, its rites and fractures, the gleam of language flowing from the poet's pen. These are poems with heft and imagination, a sense of humor, and abiding faith. They lead us ever homeward-as Manning writes in his wonderful poem, "Perennial"-that we shall "awake / in that resounding dawn."-Joseph Bathanti, North Carolina Poet Laureate (2012-2014) One word in particular describes the experience of hiking the landscapes of David Manning's poems: wonder. In these lines I encounter the novel, the exciting, the unexpected, the occasionally weird, all joining in perfect sense and sensitivity to become familiar. Affirming. On the final page, I say, "YES, this is the way it is."
