Life Among Others
Description:... "Life Among Others is a tightly knit sequence of elegant and lucid poems that explore a poet's consciousness. In that exploration, the fictions of art and life are woven together, then taken apart and rewoven again. The restless poet wants naturalness, innocence - the ability to sing, which consciousness impedes - and although he is able to remember, refashion, and dream, he knows that the results will always lack primacy; this is the burden of his sadness, the meaning of his confinement, the reason he keeps to the interior or his poems..." --Dust jacket.
