I resonated with this book upon reading the first lines of the first poem in the book, "Hunter in an Arctic Midnight": He wears a sea froth of lime. / The whiskers of the walrus / say to us / that there is no wind. I'm immediately brought into this other world, that I must continue to the end of the poem before stopping. Dubie has pushed into an understanding by native peoples of the world around them, seen and unseen, but infused with a modern sensibility for those of us who don't live near this more original world. His poetry is informed by many sources and we can discover the specialness of that alternate vision. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The New York Times called Norman Dubie "one of our premier poets," and his new book proves the point. This "broken fantasia" addresses humankind's engagement with spiritual practice. Backdropped by politics and religion, Dubie searches for independent, individual meaning through the lives of eccentric and visionary holy men such as Meister Eckhart, Rumi, the Tibetan Tashi Lama, the mathematician Ramanujan, Michel de Nostradam and the Egyptian recluse, Cyril. "I adore how they are all ignoring us," Dubie writes, "with an absolute genius-like snoring." Norman Dubie, a practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism, is a Regents' professor at Arizona State University and the author of 18 books of poetry. His work has been translated into 30 languages.
