Description
A new collection of poems by Michael McClure is a significant event in American literature. With a career spanning six decades, McClure has been an influential cultural presence, and his poetry offers a radical aesthetic that is both original and profound. In Persian Pony, he writes with conviction and authority, exploring the metaphysical vision at the heart of his work with lyric precision. The poems in Persian Pony expand on personal themes, including the intersection of science and life, as well as homages to friends and nature meditations inspired by Blakean philosophy. McClure's unique blend of eco-visionary and bio-linguistic awareness extends our understanding of the world, revealing a master poet at the height of his powers. The result is an operatic collection that rises with passionate observation, enlarging our world through the poet's conscious exploration of its dimensions.
