The Tower of Diverse Shores
Poetry. When a (young) Empire for the first time suffers invasion, hurt, pain, a casting off of symbols, trauma before the closing of ranks, vessels, values, there is also a reconsideration--at best a reconstitution--of the very tissues of language as if the culture has to learn how to speak all over again, to see itself--if lucky--fresh. A beginning which is made here, in these remarkable poems by Leonard Schwartz. THE TOWER OF DIVERSE SHORES is one of the finest collection of this new post-catastrophe generation.

Brief yet absorbing free-verse poetry
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
The Tower Of Diverse Shores is an evocative collection of brief yet absorbing free-verse poetry by Leonard Schwartz which deftly embraces the natural world and the hidden depths within seemingly incidental experiences. "Experiment warms you like a rose; / the great circus sprinkles you with dust / the self can neither pick over nor wall off. / And the philosopher is charged with a divided silence."
