An exuberant collection of poems celebrating art, nature, and
humanity. This various and vital poetry collection, in rich
language and sharp detail, spans the rural and urban, country and
town, and foreign and domestic. Tracing the vagaries of the self,
these poems record and transmute biography from an English youth to
the trials and challenges of aging in America. Memorable for its
exuberant voice and exacting eye, Brian Swann's Imago is awake to
the natural world as well as the world within. From the half-page
title poem to the multi-section "Elegiac," this volume is striking
in its largeness, its tone evolving from self-indicting to ecstatic
and self-transcendent. This collection, the author's fourteenth, is
moving both as art and as testament. Imago unfolds much like a
piece of music. It is a continuum by which Swann sees nature and
art interwoven in the ways they emerge and change. In "Grief and
Magritte," Swann muses upon "all of us snagged in a net whose
skeins tangle in night sky / where one star dreams another." The
title poem focuses on an insect "on its way through the changes,
the patterns / of what led up to it, the catches and releases . . .
saying now, and now" till "splitting down the back" such changes
"release what was always there." Brian Swann's poems, moving in
their candor, read as though they have always been there, too.
