Poetry. Anselm Hollo's most recent book of poems uses the sonnet to invite us into a conversation with poets and thinkers both here and gone. "Spawned from a clan of Baltic translators and companioned with the finest poetry gunslingers of the New World, who better to write an elegy for the West than Anselm Hollo?"-Lisa Jarnot. "If I say this is a very beautiful but sad book, you might not read it, but you must read it or you won't know enough. Form: the personal sonnet (that is, made Hollo's - can you imagine how tricky that might be?) with shining white space between the lines. Metaphysics: of the concrete, and the literary (what one knows because one Reads Books). 'Does Poetry Help?' 'Assignment: Look at these lines / Again in a hundred years'"-Alice Notley.
