Deep Lane: Poems

4.2/5 ( ratings)

Deep Lane is a book of descents: into the earth beneath the garden, into the dark substrata of a life. But these poems seek repair, finally, through the possibilities that sustain the speaker above ground: art and ardor, animals and gardens, the pleasure of seeing, the world tuned by the word.

From Deep Lane

Down there the little star-nosed engine of desire at work all night, secretive: in the morning a new line running across the wet grass, near the surface, like a vein. Don t you wish the road of excess led to the palace of wisdom, wouldn t that be nice?"

Language: English

Pages: 96

Format: Hardcover

Publisher: W. W. Norton Company

Release: April 06, 2015
