From expansive meditation to haiku, in ode and epistle, dream sequence and elegy, Levin's new poems explore motifs deeply social and historical, personal and metaphysical. Their various strategies deploy the sonic powers of lyric, the montage techniques of cinema, and the atavistic energies of the oral tradition. Throughout this volume, the singularity of person, place, and thing--and the plurality of our experience--assert their uncanny presence: an ash on a crackling log, a character from Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps, a burgundy scarf, an x-ray of Bruegel's "Massacre of the Innocents," and a demitasse cup from Dresden are all woven into a collection by turns rhapsodic and ironic, caustic and incantatory. The pre-Socratic mathematician Zeno facing the riddle of an ordinary day; a cloudbank of silence; a pair of second-hand shoes bought for Anne Frank; two crows at play above the peak of a mountain; a dot flickering on the horizon: intimate and philosophical, these poems unveil the metamorphic properties of mind and nature"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 7 $a POETRY / American / General. $2 bisacsh 650 0 $a American poetry $y 21st century. 941 $a 4 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006100238.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171230032022.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161006024555.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20160805012020.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=59247DAE5AD211E6A2123B88DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
