The intelligent, eloquent, and luminous poems in H L Hix' third full-length collection, exceed the amazing promise and scope of his earlier collections of poems. In the three sequences that make up the book, Hix negotiates the cost of knowledge, eros, and dignity, the burden of lamentation and destiny, the mercurial border between matter and spirit. One will not only admire the lucidity of these poems, but will delight at how they weave the language of science, philosophy, and scripture into a voice singular in its complexity and urgency, a voice beyond innocence, a voice tempered in the forge of history.Hix, H. L. is the author of 'Surely As Birds Fly', published 2002 under ISBN 9781931112055 and ISBN 1931112053.
