Cassandra's Daughter

by Michael Harlow

Language's classically menaced capacity to convey the realness of reality is the central anxiety of this inventive and sophisticated collection of poetry. As the poems ruminate on the humor and magic of everyday life and the severe melancholy of death, their expert handling of poetic diction, imagery, and rhythm leads to an intimate dialog with the time-honored themes of the European literary tradition.
