| Summary: | Speak, Shade is a book of lyric verse indebted to the poetics of W. S. Merwinespecially The Moving Target and The Lice- and late Paul Celan. It eschews punctuation, and uses paradox, ambiguous syntax, derangement of the senses, and surreal imagery among its tropes. Its themes include- but are not limited toblindness as a spiritual condition, the inefficacy of the imagination before time and death, the line between dream and reality, and the silence of God. Some motifs occurring in the text are parts of the body, stars, books, light, mirrors, and shadows. | |
