These poems are written from across Lev Loseff's life,
contemplating his native Russia from both a literal and a
figurative distance, while at the same time casting a sometimes
jaundiced eye on the alien culture of America in which he spent the
final years of his life. Loseff's poetry excels in complex imagery,
rich literary allusion, and is abundant in formal experiment.
Whether absorbed by the world of literature (particularly his
fellow poets) or relating real-life experiences, Loseff conjures up
a restless and frequently disturbing universe in this unusual
collection. "His poetry is full of intellectual high-wire acts.
Every poem is like a circus turn, under the big top and without a
net. In poetry like this there is nothing either natural or
unnatural, but only past-mastery." Alexandr Genis
