A scintillating collection of essays on language from one of
literature's most supple minds
In "The Night Sky," her first work of essays, acclaimed poet Ann
Lauterbach writes of the ways in which art and poetry are integral
and necessary to human conversation. At the center of the book is a
series of seven essays, by turns meditative and polemical, that
articulate the interstices between Lauterbach's poetics and her
experience. She advocates an active encounter with language, at
once imaginative and practical, and argues for the importance of
art to the well- being of a democratic society. Lauterbach's
"nimble and glittering" ("Booklist") writings bring us to a new
understanding of the relationship between self-knowledge and
cultural meaning, as well as demonstrating the ways in which
contemporary philosophy and theory might be integrated with
practical knowledge.
