Paperback. Condition: Good. Cyrus Cassells has perfected a poetics of merciful vitality and tenderness, celebrating eros -- in his daring and prolific representation of lust, yes, but more broadly in his understanding of the erotic as an affirmation and preservation of life -- through time and space. Beginning his latest collection with the piece You Be the Dancer, he bids us return to sacred sites of nostalgia, insisting on it whether we're feeling frisky, / Empty-handed, / Or still beguiled by inchoate dreams--. Is There Room for Another Horse on Your Horse Ranch? is the apotheosis of Cassells's work to elevate the mundane and the bodily to the exalted, his vigorous lyrics a routine ecstasy. Though our senses lay us bare to suffering, they also create the possibilities for pleasure and connection, the basis of -- and rewards for -- humanity. My Only Bible, Cassells pledges, is this blood-red joy / Of breathing beside you, The gospel of bougainvillea / At your boyhood gate which perfumes the soul's endless, luxuriant / Coming and becoming. Gorgeous and wry in its portrayal of transformational romance and queer selfhood, Cassells's ninth book of poetry reads as an anthology of love letters to people and places across the world. Cassells revises an old premise: is it better to have loved than lost, or is that love, once bestowed, is never lost? A champion of the flight real intimacy requires of us, Cassells addresses a beloved, You've just died in my arms / But suddenly it seems we're eternal, the>joie de vivre and bravery of his perseverance made immortal through the poem's titular declaration -- I Believe Icarus Was not Failing as He Fell. If in these pages you see the crash, the poet seems to say, remember the flying, too, the giddy Argonauts we were.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Cyrus Cassells' vibrant translations grow on the page as though the essence of Francesc Parcerisas' work has also moved forward in a Janus-like fashion. These translations are not simply the same poems in a different language; Cassells has crafted new poetry. The gentle and delicate rhythms of Parcerisas have been contracted into shorter lines that explore sharper cadences whilst Cassells carefully maintains a sensitive continuity in the opening feet. This is poetry for the ear first and the page second, Cassells has stronger consonants at his disposal, a resource that he skilfully exploits. The ultimate product of his labours is a short collection of poetry that reads and feels like a work of English Literature, a sensation that is perhaps the highest compliment one may bestow upon a Literary Translation.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Cyrus Cassells' fourth volume of poetry is an elegiac "book of heroes," a lyric homage to the "artistic fathers" who taught him "the truth-or-bust beauty of passion transformed / into sheer compassion." In the wake of his father's death, Cassells returned to Italy, France and Spain, countries that nurtured him as a young writer, to investigate the sources of his inspiration. Vincent Van Gogh, Cesare Pavese, Eugenio Montale, Attilio and Bernardo Bertolucci, and García Lorca are among those invoked and revisited in order to brace Cassells through his mourning, and to serve as touchstones in his search for the meaning of gallantry and quest for courage and expression. Throughout his travels--and especially while contemplating flamenco culture--Cassells experiences the juxtaposition of mourning with unanticipated gusts of love and eroticism. Lush Andalusian-based poems emphasize the present's power for surprise and renewal, while his elegies are ecstatic, erotic and sometimes comic. Questing and elemental, elegantly lyrical, More Than Peace and Cypresses arcs beyond grief to celebrate the fleeting majesty of our lives. From "Way of the Duende": The day mind gone, Lord, and all the stringencies, the day's bright yokes, the day's heavy bridles of status: flamenco as an impassioned celebration of night, of duende, of mystery's warrens and arabesques-- Romans, Carthaginians, phantom Moors wander through the redemptive, incantatory dancing-- Cyrus Cassells' previous books have earned the William Carlos Williams award, a Lambda Book Award, and a selection as "Best of the Year" by Publishers Weekly. He teaches at Southwest Texas State University and lives in Austin, Texas.…
