Bücher von Benjamin Friedlander

Benjamin Friedlander's first book in twelve years, Some Cares, is also his most autobiographical. Moving deftly from crude fact to abstract condition, the poems document a difficult decade of eldercare and mourning, of aging, unease, and fragmented knowledge. Of light and dark in alternation, seasonal rhythm, currents of feelingThe five stages of history Isolation BarterAmnesiaDenial Anger DepressionEverything gets to happenat least once, hypothetically;the eventual will occur.It all comes downlike snow, but doesn't stick My heartis a cup that never fills.I sip from it on occasion.
