Inhaltsangabe

This book is a house with a thousand rooms, each room containing a thousand houses, each house containing a ventriloquist with a thousand voices, saying, I want to be so much a part of this room that its windows will only open when I breathe. Words the Interrupted Speak is exquisite, incisive. It continually surprises with its diamond-tipped images and the depth of its emotions. These are poems spoken in the midst of the ultimate interruptions: our mortality and our death. Paul B. Roth speaks in a whole new language created from spaces between the old letters. This book is a jewel box as big as a building. In discerning the self in relation to cultural conflict and metaphysical crises, Roth discovers the visceral and elemental. He writes, Groping for my own face, I touch nothing but rock, earth, roots and their water. This book is a jewel box full of light and stone, rock and root. Patrick Lawler
