David Walker’s Pause zooms in on those small everyday moments that generally escape us: a glimpse of a woman driving the other way, the instant before pulling the cord of the lawnmower, the drifting of thoughts while lifting weights . . . These poems are attentive to the fine details of their moments, and to their significance—a Christmas, for example, after the parents split, with those remaining “sitting on faraway couches passing / brightly colored bags with flimsy tissue.” Pause is a wonderful first collection.
