Twenty years in the making, beyond Postmodernism, Into the Ruins confronts much of the human experience left out of the balance by postmodern poetry, often compared to the Alexandrians and the Neoterics, when writers similarly concentrated on the minor themes of personal life, while ignoring the challenging experience of the public realm. Suffused with a global tragic vision, into the ruins of the 20th Century, Glaysher has his gaze fixed firmly on the 21st. FROM the Preface: "The work of such artists as Francisco Goya in his war paintings and Los Caprichos, Kaethe Kollwitz's drawings, Wilfred Owen's poems of WWI, Randall Jarrell's "The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner," and many of the poems of Robert Hayden, a fellow Detroiter, were powerful examples and influences on me that spoke to my sense of life and helped open the way forward for me as a poet."
