Track

Beschreibung

Track is a book-length poem, originally released in the USA in 3 volumes by Spuyten Divil. Praise for the work includes - "Norman Finkelstein's Track undertakes a voyage beset by recombinatory duress. An excursis through realms where "the letters / arrive to be destroyed," this wickedly wise poem keeps on arriving long after it's done-a lingering trade or track of mind in mind, trouble in mind. It is a beautiful, beguiling book of unrest." -Nathaniel Mackey "Track beautifully reminds us that pain and uncertainty are 'to be exchanged for music'. This is a haunting 'broken crown' of a poem in which language's power to name transmutes loss simultaneously into celebration and epiphany. -Michael Heller "The cumulative sense and soul of so many passages ventured, so many thresholds crossed, shed a perfect radiance. In Track, the light is solid." -Donald Revell "Paradise is the track we're following in this poem, the spoor we're on, the prey we're tracking... Finkelstein has created an amazing new kind of poem - as tensile as it is frangible, as spiritually reviving as it is philosophically zeroing." -Peter O'Leary
