Paperback. Condition: New. In subtitling this book "A Divine Comedy," the poet Marc Vincenz brushes up against Dante, and yet he does so "in the pulse of a breath, /waiting for the rain / to wash away the dream." There is light here-not perhaps the roseate of the Florentine retinue-but one we can use right now: "All visions / gone, but this, a world, / a world / dancing ahead." Vincenz questions notions of humanity, the potency and power of language over time, implying perhaps that codes have driven us throughout history and that the emergence of the AI will yield the next stage in its evolution. After a long night of the soul, where formal religion yields to love and imagination, we emerge to a healing space that is both inner and outer, physical and spiritual. The Syndicate of Water and Light gives us a sense that we can grow in knowledge and that we can change-if not, perhaps, the world, then at least within ourselves.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. No More Animal Poems is a plea and an ode to all creatures great and small.No More Animal Poems breaks new ground with a genre of eco-poetry that could be described as ?cosmic cli-po?, or climate change poetry, invested in evocations of a multiverse in crisis. Employing a play on the futuristic eye/I, the poetry in this volume anticipates universes changed by climate. In the year 2026, the Anthropocene is in crisis and biodiversity is becoming increasingly less diverse, as extinctions continue to occur around the globe. Global warming continues apace and many national governments refuse to significantly decrease their burning of fossil fuels. These poems probe a wide variety of issues and life forms associated with the rising extinction rate and the associated folly, greed and shortsightedness of humanity in the face of potential climate disaster. Importantly, this volume is pointedly structured as a series of courses on a menu, or perhaps a futuristic omakase. These witty but often savage gastronomies advocate for the non-human and critique contemporary consumption, including tokenistic veganism.They also refer to a growing hierarchy of foods which prioritise rarity often at enormous expense.There is a mordant and ironic humor informing many of the poems in this collection, and a keenly observant eye that complements Vincenz?s interest in history and contemporary values. Indeed, some of the more overtly satirical poems skewer the human capacity for self-delusion and self-justification. Vincenz reminds the reader that numerous of our fineries and pretensions are causes of our increasing vulnerability.As the world changes, humanity?s sense of a secure future dwindles. Their sense of their place in the world not only becomes more insecure but is riven by contradiction and crisis. And, in the midst of such change, poetic language itself becomes a plea. Vincenz?s poems evoke what is lost or being lost with a pithy accuracy:faded watercolors of waterfalls and birds,the salmon spawning, the she bears gulping salmonas they ride the upsurge, upstaging the hovering buzzards;and, at night, the crickets singing ancient love songs. …
