Summary

Tom Crawford combines the spirituality of the East with his own American working-class pragmatism. The poems in The Temple on Monday explore the people, culture, and landscape of Korea through the emotional lens of a compassionate expatriate who gives voice to the mystery and wonder underlying everyday life. Crawford is able to find beauty in a traffic accident, and he can discover the story of a nation in a pair of abandoned shoes. Lyrical at times, he writes in a tone of quiet authority, and his verse is as unhurried as a light snowfall in Kwanju or the waters of the Bean-Paste River.
