Poetry. Introduction by Nick Flynn. With his deft and timeless
blend of the lyrical and narrative, Fred Marchant explores the wars
inside us and the ones we wage in the world: spiritual, familial,
political."In the spirit of Wilfred Owen, TIPPING POINT is a book
seared by personal and historical fact. Many artists are eager to
assume the mantle of 'witness, ' as if will or ambition could do
the work of experience and imagination. In contrast, the gravity,
modesty, and moral questioning in Marchant's poems reveal a mind
committed to a version of history that is resolutely human
scale."--Tom Sleigh"Explicit in its detailing, subtly graded in its
responsiveness, TIPPING POINT is also a kind of latter-day
metaphysics of morals. Marchant searches out the hidden springs of
action and yet never loses sight of the larger contexts in which
our deeds and gestures come to matter. An honest, earned
book."--Sven Birkerts
