Description
An impressive new collection from a poet whose previous book was a finalist for both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle AwardTaking its title from Heraclitus's most famous fragment, The River Twice is an elegiac meditation on impermanence and change. The world presented in these poems is a fluid one in which so muchâ?"including space and time, the subterranean realm of dreams, and language itselfâ?"seems protean, as the speaker's previously familiar understanding of the self and the larger systems around it gives way. Kathleen Graberâ?Ts poems wander widely, from the epistolary to the essayistic, shuffling the remarkable and unremarkable flotsam of contemporary life. One thought, one memory, one bit of news flows into the next. Yet, in a century devoted to exponentially increasing speed, The River Twice unfolds at the slow pace of a river bend. While the warm light of ideas and things flashes upon the surface, that which endures remains elusiveâ?"something glimpsed only for an instant before it is gone.
