The poems in her new collection, Holy Heathen Rhapsody, embrace and embody the forces of the Earth and the creative power of its lifeforms in all the wildness of their varieties. Love in these poems is a force infused with the same creative power and intensity, the purest manifestation of the will-to-be. This vision and its making contend that even a shadow or a floating seed, a frond of green or a midnight spider, even a mongrel dog, wind over water, the human voice, the human witness, peace and weapons, all—every aspect and feature encountered—are fully endowed players in the dynamic music of the Earth.

Ann Lauterbach<br />

Ann Lauterbach is one of America’s most innovative and provocative<br />

poets, acclaimed for her fierce, sensuous, and intellectually<br />

charged poems. In this, her ninth book of poems, Lauterbach<br />

pursues long-standing inquiries into how language forms and<br />

informs our understanding of the relation between empirical<br />

observation and subjective response, worldly attachment and<br />

inwardness, the given and the chosen. The poems set out not so<br />

much to find cogent resolutions to these fluid dyads as to open<br />

them to the fact of unknowing that is at the core of all human<br />

curiosity and desire. A central prose section tracks along a meditative<br />

edge, undertaking the risky task of opening the mind to<br />

the limits of apprehension; the final section evokes, in the figure<br />

of the instructor, the essential contemporary question of how<br />

information becomes knowledge.<br />
