With imaginative power and emotional force, Into The Hush, from U.S. Poet Laureate Arthur Sze, explores the exigencies of climate change, of endangered cultures, and of our nuclear age.
Like wind on a lake, Arthur Sze's twelfth book of poetry, Into the Hush, extends a language that ripples and stills, widens and deepens. Through an earned and profound simplicity, these poems move with imaginative power and emotional force and gather a startling array of contrasts--from wildfires to a sprig of sunrise, from gunshots to a spirit evoked by swaying candles--to address the challenges of our nuclear age. Here, poems shadow sonnets and appear as haibun and ekphrasis, pantoum and segmented zuihitsu. They borrow the voice of an eraser and the voice of a jaguar. Even the aspen leaves speak. Sze harnesses a range of innovative forms to respond to the challenges of climate change, exploring what it means to live on an endangered planet. Written at the height of his powers, Into the Hush is a landmark publication. Sze enacts a thrilling journey from silence into sound, from emptiness into the rich panoply of existence.
