Tillfälligt slut

Far-From-Equilibrium Conditions, Michael Lieberman's fifth collection of poems, struggles to find meaning in a world unmoored by turmoil and scientific discovery. In one poem, a speaker notes, ""I will be assigned as nothing"" and then implores that ""it be a significant nothing."" Lieberman is one of our most gifted poets whose preoccupation with love and desire create a gravity that is its own meaning in our topsy-turvy universe. Many of these poems are set in Lieberman's Houston neighborhood though they move far afield as they search for a coherent vision of the world.

These poems are animated by a deep rectitude, 'the convection that struggle is praise,' and a fiery determination to wrest a gleaming light - a saving remembrance - from the engulfing shadows. - Edward Hirsch ""In this brilliant book of linked poems, dualities are described and suffered as 'the soul of the poet mediates the transactions of our life on this earth' while 'caught in the disorienting whirls in which order can be glimpsed.'"" - Hilda Raz, Editor-in-Chief, Prairie Schooner ""In Mike Lieberman's Remnant we encounter two memories: one that's emotional and straightforward, even passionate, almost sentimental - and another one, oblique and sober, the memory of a scientist, a skeptic who believes in research more than affection. The combination is fascinating and rare."" - Adam Zagajewski
