Synopsis
Poetry. THE LANDING OF ROCHAMBEAU is a collection of poems and prose pieces circling the problem of historical knowledge. Language is not simply a vehicle for representing one's time, but a material force in its creation. Hence the poems attempt to investigate the boundaries between daily talk and the social environment. ..".[A] grand adventure in the difficulty we have with words; that close to the difficulty we have with marriage and with living alone, the field of immediate experience the poems come from and return to. His wit is never disengaged or distancing from his passional reality that ultimately becomes our own passional reality, our continued possibility of keeping the roots of feeling alive and vulnerable"--Robert Duncan.
