Description:
The ascetic and enigmatic expanse of the Great Basin has ì
challenged the talents of many writer, but few have met the ì
challenge as successfully as William L. Fox. In Reading Sand, ì
Fox's elegant minimalist poems capture the essence of the Great ì
Basin desert-its daunting emptiness, the passage of light and ì
wind across its surfaces, its colors and textures, its silence. ì
In "perforated object," the collection's central piece, Fox uses ì
a mysterious pierced-horn artifact discovered in Nevada's ì
Humboldt Cave as the subject of an extended meditation on the ì
nature of history and the inscrutability of the Great Basin's ì
complex past. The result is an intellectually provocative and ì
aesthetically moving work of a lean grandeur rarely found in ì
recent poetry.
This is a used book and is in ' like new' condition.
