Description
"Eshleman's work is a dazzling attempt to restore man's capacity to understand nature as divine, demonic, and human." --Kenneth Warren, American Book Review Eshleman's is a highly individual poetry, yet one that demonstrates how each of us belongs, not just to our self, but also to those numberless selves who've gone before and to the collective human consciousness that underlies all our thoughts. Here are hymns of praise for the great image-makers of the late Ice Age and to their modern show more descendants; here too are tributes to the master-spirits of the poet's inner life. From Scratch is a suite of poems, each exploring a station on one poet's way toward self-creation. show lessTags
