Beskrivning
Zeitgeist Lightning, a collection of new and selected poems by T. R. Hummer from over fifty years of writing and publishing poetry, is a roadmap of a personal journey and of the human world traversed by the author. A substantial group of new poems precedes a curated selection of poems from previous books. Eschewing any chronological order for the earlier poems, Hummer liberates them from their original compartments and allows them to mingle with one another like guests at a party or prisoners in a prison yard. Readers can now experience the body of Hummer's work in a flexible context in which underlying connections, subtexts, impulses, and motives both conscious and unconscious reveal themselves.

PRAISE FOR T. R. HUMMER "Startling and profoundly moving, Hummer's poems cast light continually upon one another as also upon other poets, other lives, other times, in a poetry of exalted sentiment and extraordinary craftsmanship."—Prairie Schooner "Hummer crafts intelligent, elegant poems directed by a penetrating gaze into contemporary anxieties and struggles, treating them with a scientist's eye for minutiae and a philosopher's tone. . . . [He] treats the reader to merciless portraits, but in return he reveals striking, painfully honest visions."—Rain Taxi Review of Books "T. R. Hummer is an inherently Heraclitan poet. You can't step into the same book twice. . . . From the formal aptitude of his first mature volume, The Angelic Orders (1982), to the bombastic stride of Walt Whitman in Hell (1996), Hummer revels in self-change."—Kenyon Review
