Description:
"Cenotaph" is the third panel in a triptych of books that includes "Apocrypha" and "The Late Romances." All contain poems "stained with grief" -- grief for the passing of the poet's parents, of his teachers and friends, and of his own once-held belief.
Expand description
Pankey's poetry vibrates with a deep and delicate musicality. The natural world that sustains and buries us here becomes refracted into an intricate web of glinting, harrowing light. Ultimate questions of gravity and grace, sacred and profane love, the mythic and the heirloom are beautifully confronted at the open threshold of an empty tomb -- the cenotaph.
