Analects On A Chinese Screen by Glenn Mott

Description

Poetry

2007

Glenn Mott’s ANALECTS ON A CHINESE SCREEN is modeled on a form that reaches to an earlier tradition of narrative and storytelling, where the “I” refers to a protean self. The aim is at social enlightenment, with an insistent connection of poetry with the external world. “ANALECTS ON A CHINESE SCREEN” is a book of humility rather that the falsely heroic, written by one as sensitive to the attenuations of life and the nuances of culture as any I’ve ever read.”-Garrett Hongo
