Spoken on the margin between death and birth, reading and writing, separation and union, the poems of Errings address the absentâa lost leader, a remote love, a protege not yet bornâand across those distances delineate the motion of consciousness as it passes from one body to the next. âVideos of Fish,â the opening sequence, speaks to the spirit of the poetâs late father, adapting devices from Dante, Tibetan metaphysicalphilosophy, and the biomechanics of the most primitive of vertebrate bodies, the fish, to envision paths of the disembodied soul. âHow difficult it is to remain one person,â the poet claims, echoing CzesÅaw MiÅosz; in its progress between persons, the collectionâs regular shifts in mode and form include the purgatorian tercet,the Japanese poetic diary, didactic verse, the Persian ghazal, the erasure, and the miniature.THE READERExperience among the waves allows one to limit the field.Each year he grew another soul, oblong, slightly pointed at the end, likean oar, its surface turned to the light.Blacken now and lift your news into the air.
