Inhaltsangabe

Allusions to the early 20th century intellectual Walter Benjamin appear throughout this book of poetry that explores such diverse topics as history, shadows, and the season of spring. Shifting through perspectives that blur gender lines and chronological boundaries, there is a darker undercurrent running through the poems that adds emotional depth to the lines and makes it all the more striking when the verse returns to spring.

Críticas

"Walter Benjamin had the heart of a poet, and always served the imagination first. Spring Ulmer finds him there, in the imagination, and recognizes him as another being of language of angels and demons. This is poetry from the world Benjamin left behind, with all its unspeakable delights and terrors, conspiracies and heartbreaks 'thimblefuls of relation' and 'inner conversations' among a host of 'disoriented survivors.' This is poetry 'unhanging itself, ' unburying itself into being." David Levi-Strauss, School of Visual Arts"
