Secret Turning of the Earth

'The publication of The Secret Turning of the Earth announces the arrival of an American poet who moves through space and time-the Venice of 1740, Paris in 1900, 1948 Boston, present day Columbus-exercising a singular vision. These strong, ambitious poems are mapped out by means of what Anthony Libby calls 'the geometries of seeing'; they pay that fierce and unwavering attention we expect only from the boldest, most perceptive travelers.'-David Citino
