Each hymn in Nathaniel Tarn's new collection The Hoelderliniae is a
love song to the Poet of Poets, Friedrich Hoelderlin?- the German
Romantic poet-philosopher who spent the last thirty-six years of
his life sequestered in a carpenter's tower in the south of
Germany. Tarn speaks through Hoelderlin and Hoelderlin speaks
through Tarn in an act of spiritual and lyric possession unlike
anything else in contemporary poetry. The French Revolution-which
Hoelderlin supported passionately until the Reign of
Terror-illuminates our war-torn, ecologically precarious age, as
the failures of our age recall past tragedies. Line after line
carries Hoelderlin's hope in an ideal of a poetry that can englobe
all the mind's disciplines and make a universe of its own.
