Description
Book SynopsisTakes readers on a heady trip through a world full of promise yet compromised by human weakness. Set in sunny southern California and Greece, the poems of this work cast the shadow of mortality, and the tones are elegiac. It offers a quatrain written to name a painting by Dorothea Tanning.
Trade Review"The Phoenix Poets list contains a number of poets currently on my list of favorites. This is a strong, vital series that has given voice to some of the best voices in American poetry today." - Billy Collins "Yenser is a justly celebrated critic.... [He] sees the beauty that can arise from an intelligent playfulness.... Above all, Yenser has learned Merrill's Freudian lesson - how quickly playfulness leads to the most uncomfortable, central, yet elusive psychic content." - Alan Williamson, American Poetry Review"
