Summary: A lens in the palm speaks from a world of fragmented philosophies and troubled meditations. Haunted by the ghosts of Keats and Spinoza, of Rodin and Turner, the voices that echo through these poems lead us into a place that is at once familiar and dazzlingly strange. Poems materialize from a palimpsest of 21st century cities--Paris and New Orleans, Oxford, Milan--where declarations of faith and disbelief clash and blur. Here, the stars, "think themselves into existence," the bones of Giotto jangle, and the "hairs on a dandelion fizz."
