Description

The themes of this book are the poetics of violence and the poetics of love.

Its impulse is the deepening of recognitions through language, in a time of ignorance and mutilation. Miss Rich has written: "For a poet...there is this primary labor with words.

But I have the notion that how you live your life has something to do with it-that morality, for a poet, is a refusal of blinders, of traditional consolations, a courage to be alone, or wounded....A willingness to step out into the fog, to take paths which may lead nowhere.

Certainty, predictability, are the first supports that have to go.

I see the poetry of things as standing in resistance to brute mechanistic force, the charge of the rhinoceros with its head down.

To discover-literally-this poetry and re-create it in language is a poet's essential action."
