商品簡介
Poetry. The poems in STILL POINT contrast the calm and tumult of Hurricane Katrina, the deconstruction of Detroit, the financial crisis of 2008, and the BP Gulf oil spill, weaving lyrical sequences and individual pieces into a coherent whole focused on humanity's relationship to itself and to nature. STILL POINT tells a story of beauty and horror, and how normalcy stubbornly persists amid history's arc.
"Can we still hope in an arc from one city to another, from one person to another? Can we feel the 'sub- molecular effects' that link us in song and empathy? Looking, listening, and entering into the lives of New Orleans, Detroit, and Toronto during years of stunning destruction and disconnection, Nolan illuminates our consanguinity. His direct human attentiveness to second-line musicians, streetcar riders, and ball players has inspired remarkably well-anchored, vivid poems. Here they are, the 'living hands' of living places—I hold them out to you." — Michael Lauchlan
"When a book is this good, what to say? Without rhetoric, in intimate detail, Nolan nails it. Behind our sealed windows, converging by accident, at odds, moved only by the metaphysics of money, we hang on a hinge. 'Between what's what and what's coming.' Will we make it? Fat chance. And yet the poems end on a sliver of hope. 'Thank you for having us,' Nolan tells the birds. It may be hello or goodbye." —Rosemary Sullivan
