No Starling Poems

Accomplishes what has proven to be so difficult for poets across time: a deeply satisfying balance of the spiritual and political. This book focuses on both singular and communal: the self on its journey through the world and our responsibilities as a people for the precarious state of that world.

Summary

Although richly peopled with figures from this and parallel worlds - Simone Weil, Verlaine, Nabokov, Eurydice, "the new boys" working in the morgue, and others - No Starling moves beyond a reliance on the dramatic resonance of individual characters.
