(P/B) SELECTED POEMS

Παρουσίαση

The poems collected in this volume are taut, lyrical and informed by a powerful and subtle music. Working within the domain of consciously reduced elements, Paul Auster pushes language to its breaking point, locating the sayable within the shifting tumult of the real, and revealing a poetic voice that has been consistently faithful to its visionary impulses.
Paul Auster is not only a celebrated novelist, but is also the author of the memoir Hand to Mouth and the collection of essays and stories, The Art of Hunger. (From the publisher)
