Description
The JackLeg Press Poetry Series Hugh Steinberg's intimate, honest poems, labor toward a personal mythology where the return to Eden is a psychic process, "erotic as a mind working," of engaging the fallen world and body with casual grace and equanimity where "[d]ivinity pervades even the slightest of acts." These poems render a taut surface in time, registering the movement of sensation as it happens in continuum Bergsonian durée, "the holiest of thoughts as you are / thinking them"—not as performative gesture but poetry's necessary work of inquiry-toward-restoration-in-making.Behm-Steinberg desires nothing less than a heaven in language.—Chad Sweeney - from Amzon
