Poetry. "Lewis Warsh's thought is not circular, but spiral, in fact-and is, in this way, totally appropriate for the times. All propositions turn back on themselves; the image of truth is uncertainty; and all that we know about a thing is limited to our knowledge of its limits. The sense that this isn't quite fair, or right, is what gives his thought, his work, its moral power, and humor"--Fanny Howe.
