| Description: |
Nude Descending an Empire develops the lyrical voice of a citizen-poet engaged with politics, history, and the urgency of our contemporary moment, especially its ecological urgency. |
| Synopsis: |
As a collection of politically engaged poetry for the 21st century, Nude Descending an Empire develops the lyrical voice of a citizen-poet speaking to the urgency of our contemporary moment, especially its ecological crisis. This is a book that brings all the supposed sensitivity of poetry into contact with the world we actually live in - with all its crises, madness, and modernity - and insists that we feel it all. A reader will recognize many of the urgent political issues of our time, yet will find them re-inhabited and transformed here by the imaginative power of poetry. Our great ecological crisis is cast as the fulfillment of a long history of violence, domination, lies, and alienation - in one word, empire - and the book suggests that a livable future requires that we wholly inhabit our body-heart-mind and discover a new paradigm. |
