Inhaltsangabe

An Ark of Koans is a meditation on the mystery of what happens at the moment it happens. Although it takes animals as its threshold, animals only serve as innocent guides toward fathoming, if not understanding, events as small, inconceivable miracles.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

[Front Flap] "These tiny quatrains are compressed meditations that expand in the mind to reveal glimpse after glimpse of a cosmic vision in which what happens in the world of animals resonates in the human world and in the realm of the divine. They have a kinship with cultural paradigms that reach back to a time before written language. Like the poems of Emily Dickinson and the songs of William Blake, their surprising energy is not the result of simple aggregation, but resides in and releases from the fact that the whole of Blodgett's poetic universe is present in each of its parts." George Amabile [Back Flap] Poet and scholar E.D. Blodgett has published more than ten volumes of poetry as well as diverse criticism and literary translations. He is Professor Emeritus in Comparative Literature at the University of Alberta. He won the Governor General's award for poetry in 1996 for Apostrophes: Woman at a Piano.
