Inhaltsangabe

Praise for Peter Waldor’s Previous Books

Peter Waldor’s spare irony, sometimes tender, sometimes bawdy, deals in dichotomies: love and hate, frailty and strength, fear, and faith. These elliptical and colloquial lyrics draw equally from parable, prayer, and elegy. Hesitating on the threshold between isolation and community, the poet focuses a distortedly accurate microscope on what matters in our lives.

—Publishers Weekly

It’s such a delight when something catches you by surprise and makes you read on—and on. So it is with Waldor, a superb lyric, gnomic, and gnostic poet.

—Gerald Stern

What strange rooms and quirky music Waldor’s poems open into, his vision proves to us that the imaginal and rational share equal claims on perception. The heart /mind of this work spiritualizes the material and materializes the soul.

—Li-Young Lee

Peter Waldor’s new book combines the unaffected, wise, intimate tone of the old Asian masters, sometimes joyful, sometimes heartbroken, often affectionate, with a tone of his own, a 21st century, ‘first world’ voice, more jaunty and optimistic-seeming, yet sometimes struggling for breath.

—Jean Valentine
