Synopsis
Neighbors's stunning collection reverberates in the interstices between the unimaginable and the incomplete like a river announcing its depth and extremity.
Synopsis
Poetry. In three cantos, BETWEEN THE TWLIGHT AND THE SKY produces and enters that place where things, the "inbetweens," appear in "their factuality and passage," at the outside edge of experience. The poem is a language of silences, lost threads in the labyrinth, and aphoristic play. With language as its light, it seeks and moves into a darkness that it at once creates and is defied by. BETWEEN THE TWILIGHT AND THE SKY draws on an array of poets and thinkers including Whitman, Adonis, Rilke, Celan, and Deleuze.
