Interglacial: New and Selected Poems & Aphorisms James Richardson

Poetry. "... There's a broad, probing, unusual intelligence in [Richardson's] work, an unusual kind of technical introspection and a wide-ranging inspiration and content that use as their matter images and ideas from sources as far afield as ancient philosophy, and contemporary science...it is work that brings news to us of packets of mental and emotional experience that haven't sung so well together in poetry for a longer time than one would care to think"--C. K. Williams. James Richardson is the author of five books of poetry, including VECTORS: APHORISMS & TEN-SECOND ESSAYS, and several critical studies. The recipient of the Cecil Hemley and Robert H.
