To World

In To World poems interrogate everything: nature society and thought itself with no prejudice or even principle. In other words they don't follow any rule tradition or discipline; they are decidedly critical. Thought is not reduced to philosophical ethical religious political or aesthetic interpretations. Rather we are before thought in its totality unwilling to recognize borders?-?although never in a pure state not falling into speculation into thinking just for thinking's sake. Thought is always related to ­experience both personal and collective and above all emotion. It never once stops being thought through image that is to say lyrical. This poetry speaks of poetry; it takes it all on: the objective and subjective the real and imagined I and other. It ventures into virgin territory on the outskirts of romanticism realism symbolism and the avant-garde. Always a model of rebelliousness and freedom a lesson in devotion and rigor Gelman's work places him among today's best poets.
