Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. Renewing and drawing upon a spiritual legacy in innovative poetry--an American poetic lineage that includes Emerson, Thoreau, and Dickinson, that continues in the writing of Robert Duncan, Ronald Johnson, John Taggart--Hank Lazer explores the possibilities for a newly articulated spiritual poetry. Jerome Rothenberg describes THE NEW SPIRIT as something like a book-length prayer: a crisis in search of a resolution through language. Harryette Mullen writes that Lazer returns the soul and its song to their highest aspiration.
