Bücher von Forrest Gander

A travelogue that employs diverse settings and styles of poetry.

The second set of New Directions Poetry Pamphlet series, which includes Vale Ave by H. D.; Eiko & Koma by Forrest Gander; A Musical Hell by Alejandra Pizarnik; The Beautiful Contradictions by Nathaniel Tarn.

Gander uses geology, and his training as a geologist, as a means for exploring what it is we stand on and for - emotionally, psychologically, and politically. His poems and the book's single essay make a passionate case for the vitality and necessity of other modes for making sense and experiencing meaning in a fragile world, among others.
