are nature-inspired. [Robert C.] Jones uses vivid imagery and sharply defined lines to construct brief but profound poems, such as "Portents," the collection’s lead work, in which objects from the natural world are transformed into mystical omens: "Two sticks/form a cross/at the edge of the path,/one side in darkness,/one side in light."
from The Kansas City Star: Two- & Three-Part Inventions, a collection of new and selected poems by Robert C. Jones
