Overview

"Almost all the poems in the three sections of An Opening in the Vertical World emerge from travel, but it is fair to say that they grow more meditative asthe book proceeds. Evocations of encounters with music or visual art appear in all three sections, and the book closes with a poem inspired by modern dance. ""Here, a highly intelligent, often lonely observer is attuned to the uncertainties of travel, sex, and history--not only to what he sees, but to what no one can see: the secret lovers who never appear from the office building, a reminder delivered by air touching skin, the solitude of crowds"". Kevin Prufer"
