Susquehanna
G. C. Waldrep
(Author)
Description
In the flowing of Susquehanna, language has been re-immersed in its origins. It is a coursing where "this human industry / compressed into earth- / rudders second emptiness / braids a fist." Susquehanna offers an intermingling of meaning's tributaries where our human violations of nature are plunged into the currents of an irreconcilable otherness, "a theft unhands / what had been / (interstitial) / pine-marrowed // phantom limb."Product Details
