Críticas:

PRAISE FOR CROSSING THE EQUATOR

"To read [Christopher's] richly honed and sensuous work, which has so much tensile strength, is to visit other worlds and then return to our own, disturbed by time, but also refreshed and reawakened."--THE WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD

"Nicholas Christopher['s] . . . three decades of poems, lyric and narrative, can be read through with enormous pleasure and considerable wonder."--LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK REVIEW

Reseña del editor:

Nicholas Christopher has been praised as one of America’s most important poets by such literary talents as John Ashbery, Charles Simic, James Merrill, and Anthony Hecht. Crossing the Equator collects Christopher’s best work from the past three decades and includes a section of new poems that are among his finest.

Cold missiles and a rain

of embers accompany the men

who slide like shadows into the city

faces mud-smeared

stones for teeth no eyes

who slit the throats of everyone

they encounter until breaking down

my door they drag me into the darkness

that floods the corridor

and lock me in an icy chamber

—from "THE LAST HOURS OF LAÓDIKÊ, SISTER OF HEKTOR"
