Book Description:

There is in Goldbarth no illusion that poetry can save us from ourselves or our culture, but his inventing fresh ways to put pressure on language in order to capture and to play with our frustrations makes it possible to believe, for a little while at least, that there is in the imagination a power for preserving a sense of the freedom and dignity of the mind that may be an illusion.--Charles Altieri
