Description:
From the chamber music of Beethoven, Schubert, and Brahms, to the children's literature of the Arabian Nights, Grimm's fairy tales, and Kenneth Grahame, to the 'high Jewish modernism' of Kafka, Isaac Babel, and Bruno Schulz, the poems in Restless Messengers wander, discovering the lyric moment.Cast in a form reminiscent of the Romantic ode, these poems are passionate engagements with other works through which the poet seeks a voice that encompasses but transcends the personal. A braiding of remembrance and forgetting, these poems revive both childhood memories and the ideals of the poet's Jewish heritage.
