Produktbeschreibung

"These are ambitious, moving poems, deft, panged, and stunning."-Dean Young "Existential chilliness, mourning, and dread find a uniquely compelling voice in Thomas Heise's poetry. . . ."-Alan Williamson ""Horror Vacui" offers an often vertiginous account of how death imposes (an) irresistible fact on minds bent on both accommodating and resisting this one inevitable yet impossible truth. . . . And it's this property of being barely held together that makes "Horror Vacui" so striking. . . . an extraordinary mood piece."-Ray McDaniel In his haunting debut collection "Horror Vacui," Thomas Heise explores the fear of empty space, a mysterious and abiding absence that is a pronounced presence in this poet's lyrical voice. Thomas Heise holds an MA in Creative Writing from the University of California at Davis and a PhD from New York University. Currently he teaches at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec.
