Paradise is the track we're following in this poem, the spoor we're on, the prey we're tracking . . .. Reworking a poetic midrash in the light of Jabs, availing himself of a deceptively simple poetic line which has antecedents in Michael Palmer's recent work, and then referring to scriptural hermeneutics throughout, Finkelstein has created an amazing new kind of poem as tensile as it is frangible, as spiritually reviving as it is philosophically zeroing.
