Promises of Glass

"Eschewing cultural polemics and staging a thoughtful debate with tradition in the midst of his fiercely experimental project, Michael Palmer has quietly built a relationship among both the 'avant-garde' and the 'scholiasts' of contemporary American poetry. Few American writers are at once so novel and so classical as well. Palmer's seventeenth collection. THE PROMISES OF GLASS, continues the poet's philosophical investigations mounted against a late 20th Century backdrop of cosmopolitan savagery."Palmer, Michael is the author of 'Promises of Glass', published 2000 under ISBN 9780811214438 and ISBN 0811214435.
