Defining Absence,
By
This review is from: Defining Absence (Salmon Poetry) (Paperback)
Absence is one of those commonplace words that can prove oddly resistant to definition -- partly because there are so many varying forms of absence, from temporary (going off for a walk around the block) to the most permanent, notably death. The poems in this book undertake the work of defining absence in a number of contexts, most painfully that of the premature death of a child.
John Hildebidle has spent nearly thirty years teaching, in a public junior high school, at Harvard, and now at MIT. During the 1994-5 academic year, he was attached to the English Department of University College, Galway, Ireland, on a Fulbright scholarship. He lives in Cambridge MA (USA) with his wife and children, and writes fiction, essays, and poetry. His books include The Old Chore (Alice James Books), Stubbornness: A Field Guide (SUNY Binghamton), and One Sleep, One Waking (Wyndham Hall Press). |
