Official synopsis Publisher
“Rothenberg’s poetics of sacred names and numbers is a ‘poetics of the sacred.’ It intends to re-empower poetry by taking it back to its (presumed) origins. The ‘charming’ character of his poetry and his ‘poetics of the sacred’ questions the validity of deconstructionist assumptions in regard to poetry. Alternatively, Rothenberg presents us with a kind of poetry that does not discount the possibility of finding healing and meaning through language.”
