商品簡介
'Art of Navigation', the title poem, is the dreaming and re-dreaming of new potent frameworks for history. It follows, through different histories, man's ongoing search for an undiscovered continent. Two currents in the poem meet and merge: one, official, like the chain of events which constitute a written history of past voyages of discovery; the other to be found in those overlooked links which slip away, tantalizingly, to resettle in the seed-bed of the culture. 'Sestina of Sestinas' employs the meta-verse as philosophic medium for investigating the poet's imaginative origins, drawing connections between the landscapes encountered in Wales and the poet's remembered Guyana. 'Malory' uses and ancient Celtic myth (which has resonances with Amerindian myth) in a contemporary setting, writing a new text for an ancient fragment to position the reader in new configuration with the world.
