The Plurality of Worlds of Lewis
A meditation on grief and writing, this collection of prose and poetry elaborates on themes explored in Roubaud`s Some Thing Black , which The Times Literary Supplement called a harrowing book ..an elegy for our time. As in the earlier collection, Roubaud grapples with the grief he continues to feel at the untimely death of his young wife. In the first two parts, he uses the possible existence of many worlds as a means by which to transcend the trauma of this unbearable loss. In the third section, Roubaud uses a mathematically precise form to explore the idea of form itself. These poems explore the limitations of poetry itself, which can only clarify the exactness of his grief, not assuage it. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
