Poetry. "Written over a span of six years, the poems of Brian Lucas's LIGHT HOUSE operate in what musician Brian Eno calls 'the long now,' a vast span of human time which redraws the lines of social priorities, away from the pathological hyperactivity of a market-driven attention span toward compassion and long horizons.a critical retuning of the ear, mind and heart"--Brian Strang. "Brian Lucas's first book is also the document of an exilic voice, original in it's wandering, a book composed of spectral coils, knots, and spirals, a book of arabesque (that perfect synthesis of irony and enthusiasm), whose language is limitlessly defined as "an intentional science of ecstasy beyond the decay"--Andrew Joron.
