Description:This chapbook has two sections. The first contains seven poems in free verse format that explore dreams, dream-like imagery, and male violence. The second section is "The Similitudes," 16 poems presented with multiple columns, creating over-lapping voices. The poems weave together imagery from daily life &dash; eating, listening to music, repairing the roof, making love &dash; with imagery and ideas from philosophy, theology, and the Desert Fathers. The Similitudes could be classified as projective verse, but they take a different turn from most verse that exemplifies that approach. Here are some excerpts (without overlapping columns):the world is brightwith itselfeach thinga claritya rung bell-dark movementin the plum tree —shade within shadow sways,dark facetsunder green planes-the stara pinnacle balancedon distance"The collection has a foreword drawn from a letter written by Warren to the publisher. Here are the first few sentences:Self and world are not separate things (i.e. my book is anti-dualit). Mind and body are a unity. Selves exist only in relation to the world they experience; the world they experience only exists in relation to selves. The imagination is the constitutive factor."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
