In this book, the author examines the imaginary or poetic dimensions of rarity. It comes about in the hushed spaces between stanzas, in the pauses between words and lines, in speechlessness. A flower, a silence in a room, a mournfully muttered 'oh, ' thorns and dark seeds, even rugs and tables, a hummingbird, the papery gown of a brother dying, all have rarity. Rilke's phrase 'the gesture of small flowers when they open in the morning' serves as an exemplary image of material and mental rarity."-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Introduction -- 1.
