Providing a rare and creative sense of authority's various faces,
this collection of poems travels from intellectual and artistic
power to philosophical, military, and imperial power; and above
all, personal influence. The verse introduces the persuasiveness,
complexities, and intrigues of "table talk"--a European tradition
of informed and enlightened conversation that has virtually
disappeared from the experience of North American culture.
Commanding and informed in their own sense of purpose, these pieces
evince a gentle curiosity for greatness, creating an engaging
portrait of simple humanity, powerful minds, and memorable ideas.
