Towards the Blanched Alphabets [Hardcover]

Gustaf Sobin (Author)

Publication Date: July 1998

Poetry. "Master of hoverings, of hesitances, etched definitions," as Robert Duncan once wrote, "Sobin creates, out of so many meticulously measured components, a poetry--as much lyric as reflective--of luminous disclosure."
