"Inseparable" collects poems written between 1995 and 2005 by the
New York poet, editor and novelist Lewis Warsh. Strongly identified
with New York since the 1960s, when he co-founded "Angel Hair"
magazine with Anne Waldman, Warsh makes poems from the city's
linguistic fabric, interwoven with a bemused real-time interiority.
The 35 poems of this collection are pitted with reminiscences made
approachable to the reader by their lack of self-absorption; it is
the momentum of the will to persist by means of language--"moving,
word by word"--against the incipient flickerings of mortality, that
is their real logic. This act of self-propulsion may be subject to
doubt ("Can we spend our lives feeding/off simple endurance?"), but
it is humbly pursued: Warsh resists the inflated rhetoric such
preoccupations usually attract and sticks instead with (in the
words of his colleague Clark Coolidge) "confusion, in strict
order."
