Marvin Bell's ninth major collection of poems is groundbreaking,
his most provocative and imaginative work to date. The phrase "the
dead man" resounds throughout like a drumbeat registering the
wisdom and genius of ignorance, fallibility, and mutability with a
Zen-like detachment. Defying paraphrase, Bell's new poems demand to
be understood in the context of the incantatory line as he
illuminates the transcendent inscape in its moment of
self-revelation. The Book of the Dead Man demolishes boundaries
between lyric poetry and serio-comic intensity, and announces a
poetics of striking spiritual candor.
