Spiritual Necessity: Selected Poems of Frank Samperi
Angebote / Angebote:
The late poet Frank Samperi left behind a legacy of minute poems focused on daily, urban subjects, immaculately poised against the vastest of spiritual backgrounds: the visionary thought of Dante, Aquinas, and Shankara. This extensive collection presents poems from many of his no longer available major works.Samperi's poems are well-known to readers familiar with Cid Corman's epoch-making magazine and book series, Origin. Besides the three volumes Corman published, Samperi authored some fourteen books published by other independent publishers, including Station Hill's Letargo.In the tradition of W.C. Williams' discovery of poetry in ordinary life, Samperi's work also projects a breathtaking spiritual solicitude and sadness. These are truly the poems of a soul on loan from eternity.
