In this, his seventh book, poet Dave Malone gives readers glimpses of life-shaping moments. In a chapter titled "School Days and Light," we watch a bully, and a too-young bride; in the "Aux Arcs" (Ozarks) section, we meditate on family values. "Love Language" reads sky, lake, and tree. The book ends with elegies, sharp and subtle, for (extra) ordinary people.
Dave Malone is a poet and filmmaker who lives in West Plains, Missouri. His ancestors moved to Howell County in 1842 and were one of ten families of European descent living in the area. Though itinerant at times, Malone has long found a home and refuge in the Ozarks, where most of his work is set. You Know the Ones is his seventh volume of poetry.

This volume, Malone's 7th deals with people, places, and things. Written in free verse with tis requisite poetic devices--similes, assonance, inner rhyme, and alliteration--the only questions I had were why some poems had the beginnings of each line capitalized, while others were punctuated as sentences. Also, the convention of ending lines with strong words seemed to be unimportant, for two lines ended in "was," and "to the," But my favorite penultimate and final lines of "The Shepherd" reads, "Thimble and needle flowing/ to patch up what's never said."Product details

You Know the Ones Dave Malone 9781936135264 Books Reviews
That kid in seventh grade who went overnight from scrawny and skinny to muscled jock claiming he had to shave twice a day. The girl in the pink sweater who moved through the crowded halls of eighth grade like she was parting the Red Sea. The furtive glance at the skinny girl in glasses rewarded with an equally furtive return glance. The physics teacher who was barely this side of crazy. The best friend in high school whom you planned the rest of your life with. And don’t forget the music – the best music ever, with nothing to match it before or since.
This is the stuff that puts the form in our formative years. And this is the stuff of Dave Malone’s newest collection of poetry, “You Know the Ones.”
Malone doesn’t confine himself to those middle school and high school years. He knows what shapes us is also the landscape we’re born and raised in, and the people who are never more than a few feet away – the grandparents, the mothers, the fathers, the brothers and sisters, the extended family of aunts and uncles and cousins and the distant relatives whom we’re not sure are really relatives or not but it doesn’t matter because they’ve been part of the landscape forever.
And then the love stories, the stories that last, sometimes even longer than the love that inspired them. This wouldn’t be a Dave Malone poetry collection without love poems, and You Know the Ones includes them as well, intimate looks at the love a man has for his wife. Illustrating several of the poems are photographs, old ones, the kinds you find in your mother’s scrapbook, when you realize for the first time that she was once 17 and had dreams.
You read these poems, and you think of where you came from, the joys and horrors of your teen years, and the love you experience for the people you’re closest to. And I had a friend just like Mike.
Don’t Touch
You know the ones.
Close friends, high school days.
They are the best where they are.
Chiseled in time.
For me the most
It’s Mike. Twig-shaped tough
Who would be, mark his words,
The Crue’s drummer.
The Kansas light
Drummed upon him
On days we shot
Hoops one on one.
But now I know
Time has beaten us
Into days of mildest
Living, slowness.
And yet on some
Sweet, brooding nights,
The gold of August
A brisk, slam dunk.
We didn’t play basketball (I was rather hopeless in the sport and a bit too short) but I know what it is to have a friend, “chiseled in time,” locked in those memories of youth and music and new experience and just beginning to explode from a disappearing childhood.
Malone is the author of six other poetry collections “23 Sonnets” (2011); “Under the Sycamore” (2011); “Poems to Love and the Body” (2011); “Seasons in Love” (2013); “View from the North 10 Poems After Mark Rothko’s No. 15” (2013); and “O Love Poems from the Ozarks” (2015). He’s also published two novels, “Not Forgiven, Not Forgotten” (2012) and “Purgatory A Good Way to Die” (2014), and a two-act play, “The Hearts of Blue Whales” (2013).
Malone may write about his beloved Missouri Ozarks, but what he writes is universal. Family, friends, geography – these are the things that shape us and launch us, the things that simultaneously hold us and push us away, and upward, and the things that ultimately matter.
