In this volume, beautifully produced by Revival Press, Eugene Platt invites us to travel with him on a survey of a long writing life in poems that cloak their craft and technique in language deceptively simple and direct. He confronts tragedies and disappointments without bitterness or sentimentality, finding joy and hope in unexpected places. Eugene's poetry speaks from the heart with a clarity of vision and generosity of spirit which make this volume a delight to read.

Nuda Veritas is a celebration of life and death. The poems are expressed with eloquence, beauty, and grace. As in "Simple Words," the poet "conveys the otherwise unconveyable" and in "A Widower's Fifth September" brings tears with the words "to hold your hand in mine again and hear your voice."
—Sue Walker, Ph. D., Tulane University; Poet Laureate of Alabama (2003-2012).
A poet of discovery, Eugene Platt delves into a vast well of experience and brings to the surface a reverence for family, love, enduring life, and American history. These poems span romance and war, birth and death, and the varied, sometimes contradictory experiences of a man traveling through this thing we call life. Here, meditations of lost love and walking the dog sidle up next to folk songs and prayer. The music-filled poems in Nuda Veritas distill expansive ideas into delightful verse revealing veneration for the quotidian and attention to detail as minute as a mustard seed.

In this ambitious compendium of highly personal verse, Charleston poet Eugene Platt yaws gently from the heroic to the whimsical, tracing a journey through settings real and remembered in detail rendered with precision and delight. Perhaps he appears most at home echoing the tides and currents that have inundated and sustained the South Carolina Lowcountry for centuries. What a gift to have this volume coincide with Charleston's commemoration of 350 years from its colonial settlement, and likewise to mark 100 years of resolute collegiality for the Poetry Society of South Carolina.
