Synopsis

BLURB Not since Jahweh and Adam gave each other the finger has so much beneficent darkness and dreadful light been shed on the long, insolent path we all traverse on the way to we’re not sure except hopefully not alone. Who trudges off nightly into mountain snows in your pillow? I daresay you don’t know unless someone who can elevate mercy, invent the zero sum that haunts the mayhem, and smile deeply as Yeats’s notable Chinaman. Anyway, you get the idea. So here it is. If geezer and little boy have changed places, if the sentences are too many, no matter; only if all of life is early morning dark.

À propos de l'auteur

Gordon Osing is retired from the writing program at the University of Memphis and lives now lakeside in Delta bluffs woods in Eudora, Mississippi, where he is continuing his career in reading and writing and traveling. The River City Writers Series, that he began some thirty-five years ago at the University of Memphis, is still thriving. He sees himself in a continuation of the works of the Southern Modernists, holding language in poetry as re-contextualized, and the poem as artifact with its own protocols and reasons, the ways and means of a poem's attachments to "truth" belonging peculiarly to poetry. Another recent collection is titled Meanwhile (SD, 2011).
