A Lens in the Palm (Oxford Poets)

Plot

The themes that populate this innovative collection of poems confront a host of voices and philosophies. Along with the ghosts of Keats, Giotto, William Turner, and Spinoza, the landscapes of Louisiana, the coasts of Wales, the cloisters of Oxford, and the galleries of Paris and Rome are all summoned. Each work haunts the borderlands where the mystical and material clash and blur, and together they depict a universe that is both familiar and wonderfully strange.
