Author: Beachy-Quick, Dan
Condition: New
From one of the nations most dynamic and celebrated young poets, an extended dialogue with the greatest masterpiece of American literature, Moby-Dick.Taking its inspiration-and, for that matter, its form-from Ishmaels abandoned Cetological Dictionary in Moby-Dick, this extraordinary, highly original work brings meditations on myth, representation, language, nature, consciousness, and notions of spiritual quest into constantly new relations. From Accuracy to Wound, from Adam to Void, and from Babel to Silence, the cross-referential, highly associative entries make up an utterly singular work of art.For fans of Beachy-Quicks acclaimed collections of poems, for the legions of Melville fanatics among us, and indeed for anyone who regards reading as an unconditional, encompassing obsession, A Whalers Dictionary is absolutely essential.
