Airstream Land Yacht

Description

A love song to the worldless parts of the world, Airstream Land Yacht explores the inexpressible. Partly grounded in the concrete of everyday experience and partly floating away in the ineffable, these poems delve into questions of conscience and problems of consciousness. Generating music from paradox, they treat the intellect as equal parts junk heap and life preserver, making for a spellbinding collection that charts a bold new direction for an acclaimed poet.;Cover Page; Title Page; Copyright Page; Contents; Theory of Mind; Air; Essentialist; Aurora Algonquin; Windspeed; Explanatory Gap; Tarantella; Found In a Sock Monkey Kit; Hungerford Note; Stencil Artist; State Your Needs; Marram Grass; Palindromic; A Brochure; Stream; As Effected by Klaus Berger's Haircut Whose Brainwaves his Father Recorded Inventing the Eeg; Engineer and Swan; Pragmatist; Explanatory Gap; Subject, with Rhyme, Riding a Swell; On the Dream of Union Ceasing; Explanatory Gap; The Lie Concerning the Work; The Brave; The Minds of the Higher Animals; Epochal.
