Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"With patience amounting almost to agony, with certainty all the while climbing very real Hills of Paradise, Christopher Buckley has, for a long time now, been the tireless Wayfarer of American Poetry. His new collection, Star Apocrypha, unfolds the deep intelligence of his Way, inventing and sustaining a new kind of meditation as it goes. In poems like 'Zeno Said' and 'Some Last Existential Thoughts at Surf Beach, ' Buckley gifts us with illuminations not excelled by any in this day. He has made his way to Mastery." --Donald Revell, author of There Are 3: Poems "[Buckley's] poetry . . . should be known by a large American public; for if taken to heart it can help us survive with dignity." --Philip Levine

Reseña del editor:

Christopher Buckley's new collection is a brilliant expression of philosophy and feeling. Throughout Star Apocrypha, Buckley relentlessly questions the metaphysics of life in the heavens and on earth. These poems bear the beauty and weight of big questions and dazzling language. Yet there is also a real life woven into the fabric of the book, a deep melancholy over the loss of a father and the indifference of the cosmos to our inquiries. In Star Apocrypha, Buckley exposes both physical and inner landscapes with wit and high-pitched intelligence.
