The Heartbeat as an Ancient Instrument
No Customer Reviews
Poetry. David Schloss' THE HEARTBEAT AS AN ANCIENT INSTRUMENT plays with a vast sense of scale, at times providing biblical floods and gardens, Odysseian paeans, and lovers 'grumbling all the way into a god's tight vise.' While impassive gods cast their eyes over the entire collection, at THE HEARTBEAT's core is a human-sized trial of long memory, an uneasy feeling of 'seeing our past lives swimming before us, ' and a tense conversation about a marriage in ruins. This book is a cry in the dark, a calling upon clearly rattled faith--faith in love, in the choices we make, in the doors we close, and in 'the greater pain of our wandering.'--Erica Reid
