Field Notes for the Self

Autor Randy Lundy
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mar 2020
Field Notes for the Self is a series of dark meditations: spiritual exercises in which the poem becomes a forensics of the soul. The poems converse with Patrick Lane, John Thompson, and Charles Wright, but their closest cousins may be Arvo Prt's tintinnabulations—overlapping structures in which notes or images are rung slowly and repeatedly like bells. The goal is freedom from illusion, freedom from memory, from "the same old stories" of Lundy's violent past; and freedom, too, from the unreachable memories of the violence done to his Indigenous ancestors, which, Lundy tells us, seem to haunt his cellular biology. Rooted in exquisitely modulated observations of the natural world, the singular achievement of these poems is mind itself, suspended before interior vision like a bit of crystal twisting in the light. "Dispassionate yet impassioned, stark yet bristling with images, the poems encompass contradiction and expansion." — Arc Poetry Magazine Praise for Randy Lundy: "Here is a poet of whom one can say—quietly, simply, with gratitude—that highest of praises: the real thing." — Jane Hirshfield, author of The Beauty "Randy Lundy has entered the place where the masters reside…" — Patrick Lane, author of Washita
