Drawing from his experience as a translator, Forrest Gander
includes in the first, powerfully elegiac section a version of a
poem by the Spanish mystical poet St. John of the Cross. He
continues with a long multilingual poem examining the syncretic
geological and cultural history of the U.S. border with Mexico. The
poems of the third section-a moving transcription of Gander's
efforts to address his mother dying of Alzheimer's-rise from the
page like hymns, transforming slowly from reverence to revelation.
Gander has been called one of our most formally restless poets, and
these new poems express a characteristically tensile energy and, as
one critic noted, "the most eclectic diction since Hart Crane."
