The Net<\/em><\/h1>\n

Daniel Tobin<\/h2>\n

Unified by its theme of metamorphosis, these poems descend deeply into subjects as divergent as a jetty that disappears during high tide, to a talking parasitical head, to a sandlot baseball legend, to a famine road in Ireland, to Orpheus, to Wittgenstein, to a murdered poet and his wife, and finally to grave personal loss, tracing through all of its many attentions the thread that binds the physical to the metaphysical\u2014a psychic passage from death back to life again.<\/p>\n

“Fly and Cricket,” from The Net<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Its ear attunes homage to those wings\nthat would entice a consort's tailored song.\n\n\nWhere carapace affects a telephone\nit listens beyond longing's least unease\n\nto hear inside a trigger-scale of notes\nlike a rapper's staccato hail of words--\n\nthe key that calls the quiet gamut out\nwrithing, to burrow in the singer's gut.\n\nDown there what governs and endures is this:\na screeching in the music of the spheres\n\nwhere one of all that symphony will feed\non living meat until the husk exhumes.\n\nSo out pulses shroud-faced Eurydice\nwith Orpheus's body for its womb.\n[\/column]\nAbout the Author<\/a>\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
