Hindsight: Poems (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A meditation on damage, aging, and injustice from a poet whose work live[s] in a realm of classical purity (Anthony Hecht).

Blending the personal and the political, the poems in Hindsight search for forms of the sacred in a time of torment. Some contemplate the shocks of COVID-19, others confront a politically torn nation. Each poem asks some version of the question, What can be made of all this / grief. Beneath theology pulses the private life. Warren investigates a personal past to weigh the moral meaning of experience. In Hindsight, the speaker discovers, I could have / seen you better, I / know that now. Whom have we hurt? What does it mean to be conscious? From Such Times

There were laws to be smashed, a country intent
on doing just that. We lived in such times.
Still, in Prokofiev's piano sonata,
the notes kept rising like a vine on a trellis.
And that, too, was true. There was a way
in which it was true. But did
we hear?
