Tom Raworth’s Meadow: A Poetic Landscape

Description

Meadow Tom Raworth (The Post-Apollo Press, paperback)

Publication Date: January 1, 1999

Publisher Marketing: Poetry. These fourteen poems, ranging from Intellectual Compost Four (beginning is a minor danger) to No Music (bones lie across the country/covered in rare mixed leaves/unable to keep them//to choose the surest gain), are spare, delicate, unerringly thoughtful. Tom Raworth, word comet streaking across the night sky of our market-driveling-cruel-funny culture: This book illuminates with its own black light — ‘moving explosion … shadows of pure colour … blank cartoons nerves of speed/ dissolving scars …’ As always, Raworth’s poetry is full of humor and rage and love and utmost vocal precision — Joan Retallack.
