This selected--the first compilation of essays by Hank Lazer
following his ground-breaking and much revered two-volume Opposing
Poetries--offers twelve years of incisive writing at the
intersection of two of the more contentiously debated topics in
current letters. Drawing on poetic traditions as seemingly
disparate as Language writing and Buddhist poetry, Lazer pursues a
way of reading that is rich in the music and spirit of the word,
attuning readers to the pleasures and range of possibilities for
innovative poetry. In a very accessible writing style, and with
flashes of brilliance, Lazer explores and identifies new approaches
to the lyric and to the writing of spiritual experience in American
poetry of the past one hundred years. In this book of essays,
interviews, reflections, and more, Lazer focuses on two topics
central to the poetry of our time: the changing nature of beauty in
the lyric and the necessity of finding new ways of embodying
spirituality. By bringing a wide range of perspectives to his
readings--from the jazz of Monk and Coltrane to the philosophy of
Heidegger and Derrida--Lazer's essays inspire readers to enter into
a renewed and renewing relationship with poetry.
