Seth Michelson's debut full-length collection of poetry, Eyes Like
Broken Windows, comprises poems of struggle. But this is also a
collection of great power and language. There is shattered beauty
everywhere. It is a collection in which tumors become roses, in
which traffic accident victims gasp saintly visages like some 14th
Century Giotto, in which a woman cures the infirm with her hands
like a modern day Christ. It is a collection where death begets
life, where the parasitic fig tree eventually strangles its host
"in parched darkness," but in the end "will have itself become a
host / to an orchestra of new creatures: / green parrots, toucans,
fruit bats and silver monkeys." Michelson's family ties to
Argentina, his time lived there, and his award-winning translations
of its poetry have deeply informed the crown of sonnets around
which this collection revolves.
