商品簡介
Norman Dubie is a poet of prodigious imagination whose mercurial poems engage natural and political landscapes in an unstable contemporary world. "I really learned not to blink, not to look away," comments Dubie, "from some of those things in life that are ugly and involve suffering." The poems in The Volcano take a candid look at the limitations of confronting atrocity. Dubie censures human shortcomings with precision and spins them into haunting, revelatory reminders of our capacity to achieve in language.
"Dubie's poems reflect the volcanic nature of the contemporary world, the volatility of war and rumors of war, the unpredictability of the natural world, skewed by science and ruined by society's incessant needs. In Dubie's sphere, anything can happen, and when it does, he brings it to readers in excruciating and exquisite detail." ---Library Journal
"Dubie's dramatic poetry seeks to represent our deepest moments of perception, struggle, and revelation. Out of his voice come the voices of multitudes. Yet his achievement and vision are singular." ---American Book Review
"Norman Dubie is one of our premier poets. The reader new to Mr. Dubie's work is likely to be struck first by the vigor of his forms and the bravery of his language." ---The New York Times
