"Greek Passages" is a set of 105 prose-poems derived from four
sojourns in Greece, mostly in the vicinity of Argos and thus at the
hub of early Greek power. The structure is entirely diurnal,
building each poem from the day's events, so that cognizance of
monumental historical figures and events infiltrate from outside
into notes of fauna, ruins, the news, books about Greece or not,
American music listened to, pleasant dinners, dreams of northern
England etcetera. Two shorter stays on the west coast of the
Peloponnese furnish beginning and ending sections of a gentler,
more lyrical cast, and there are interruptive excursions, mostly to
the remains of cities and wars. Everywhere what is presented to the
eyes is the starting-point for a poetical process creating lenses
in location and sense. Greece is not elsewhere, it is there at the
bottom of the garden; we speak it every day, and its stories are
meshed into our meanings. The very words we use echo the passage of
populations from east to west and back across Greece, entwined with
further movements between Africa and the North ...These things
impinge centrally on rhapsodies of distance and peace.
