| Zusammenfassung: | The poems in John Burt's newest collection aspire to record something of what Wordsworth called "the still sad music of humanity," that ability to endure the limitations of the world - and the folly of one's own desires and ambitions in it - until one arrives, beyond disappointment or defeat, at a kind of lucid and reflective acceptance of experience with all of its shades. The poems are grouped thematically. The first part contains a series of nocturnes about death. The second includes testy confrontations with strangers. The third treats characters faced with moral challenges beyond their capacities. All of these concerns are at play in the long narrative "Anna Peterson," a true story, which the author has set at the thematic and emotional center of the book. |
