Publisher Marketing: A sloth, climbing a large mound atop which blooms a rose, arrives at the summit, and— « Something has happened; it is up to us to name it, or not to. Something is wrestling us for our blessing » (Cavell). What has happened? It is not clear. An atom, falling through the void, swerves. Deep underground, a coal fire burns for decades. A red triangle spins in a dense fog. Long ago, an obscure entomologist discovers a spurious pattern in the classification of scarabs. The sun, making its daily journey, arrives at Anxiety Abyss, and this, we are told, is called Yellow Dusk. The poem spans this abyss.
