Scribe

by Norman Finkelstein

Poetry. "To read SCRIBE is to pass 'through a series of gates' into the paradoxical heart of the poem, where 'terror and enchantment,' the communal and the solitary, the light and the dark, the imaginings of adult and child come together in an ancient music entirely of our moment. Norman Finkelstein here articulates the permissions and responsive urgencies of poetic engagement, echoing now ballad music--or magic, now the muted voice of dailiness, now the lyric strains of desire"--Michael Palmer.
