Description
Speak, Shade is a book of lyric verse indebted to the poetics of W. S. Merwinespecially
The Moving Target and The Lice- and late Paul Celan. It eschews
punctuation, and uses paradox, ambiguous syntax, derangement of the senses, and
surreal imagery among its tropes. Its themes include- but are not limited toblindness
as a spiritual condition, the inefficacy of the imagination before time and
death, the line between dream and reality, and the silence of God. Some motifs
occurring in the text are parts of the body, stars, books, light, mirrors, and shadows.
