Little Elegies for Sister Satan presents indelibly beautiful new
poems by Michael Palmer, "the foremost experimental poet of his
generation, and perhaps of the last several generations" (citation
for The Academy of American Poets' Wallace Stevens Award).
Grappling with our dark times and our inability to stop destroying
the planet or to end our endless wars, Palmer offers a counterlight
of wit (poetry was dead again / they said again), as well as the
glow of wonder. In polyphonic passages, voices speak from a
decentered place, yet are rooted in the whole history of culture
that has gone before: "When I think of 'possible worlds,' I think
not of philosophy, but of elegy. And impossible worlds. Resistant
worlds." In the light of day perhaps all of this will make sense.
But have we come this far, come this close to death, just to make
sense?
