The Glass Eye

<p><strong>A glass eye reflects without seeing.</strong></p><p></p><p><em>The Glass Eye</em> is a book-length poem that binds ecstatic utterances in its narrative with worldly dramas of a life. Beginning in a long moment of descent it is a story of deaths and resurrections resignation and hope brutal luminous foreseeing.<em>The Glass Eye</em> makes a large statement. The narrator alternates between stern interlocutor and ardent novitiate. The work stretches to encompass the central paradox of the human condition a perspective that juxtaposes the deepest human wish against the vast forces that shape and thwart it.</p>
