The Chairs

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

THE CHAIRS is an homage to Rilkean method based on N. M. Hoffman's work on Rainer Maria Rilke's prismatic "Les Roses," published with English translation by Kearns, Howard & Walker. The poems braid strands of contemporary reality with historical residue to produce a politicized poetry uncharacteristic of American contemporary verse.
