About This Item
Tupelo Press, 2018. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. New/New. a NEW, pristine 1st Edition, 1st Printing of this extraordinary book that is SIGNED by the author. "For several books now, G.C. Waldrep has been writing poetry that inhabits the tensions between faith and matter, flesh and mind, fullness and nullity. Feast Gently is a lavish new iteration of his visionary work. In language that is always exultant, the poems in this beautiful and demanding book inquire into the body itself--the prismatic entity that manifests as the lyric body, the civic body, the spirit body, and the achingly physical body. What's newly urgent in these poems is the knowledge that the body's vulnerability is probably the fulcrum of its joy. As a speaker in one poem claims, 'Sometimes touch is better / than illumination.' Still, here is a poetry of illumination, rapture, and rapt attention." --Rick Barot. "Rarely have I encountered such intransigent songs of devotion, as baroque in their way as the songs of Donne, philosophical and heartfelt; the thought is kingly and the language thingly, a living envelope for and not a description of, the real." --Joshua Corey --Advance Praise
