Through the course of numerous books, Samuel Green has established his primary poetic preoccupations, and in Disturbing the Light , he continues to mine them, addressing rituals and work in a small, isolated, rural community; the influence of the past on the present, especially in families; and the nature and evolution of a love that has spanned five decades.
