A couple realizes they've been trapped inside an ancient myth. A traveler glances out through a train window and catches the dim reflection of another world.</p><p>This is the world of <i>Made Flesh</i>, the long-awaited second book by Craig Arnold, and a new mythology of what it means to be in the body. Marrying narrative precision to lyric ecstasy, the archaic to the avant-garde, these poems celebrate the fragility of our very selves and "the joy of self-forgetting," the acts of surrender that loves asks of us. Fierce, exuberant, and erotic, they invite the reader to share a rare and startling vision: how, if we would only permit ourselves to be drawn out of our mental privacies, out to the very surface of our skin, we might admit the beauty of being for a moment in the world, and with each other.</p><p><b>Craig Arnold </b>is the author of <i>Shells</i>, a Yale Series of Younger Poets selection chosen by W.S. Merwin. He teaches at the University of Wyoming in Laramie.</p> 3420850 1 9 2008 Made Flesh total:21|5:11|4:8|3:2|2:0|1:0| 21 93 42 7 5 0 false false Fri May 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Feb 05 21:03:20 -0800 2009 Fri May 08 11:28:49 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Jul 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 18 10:27:24 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 18 10:31:26 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu May 07 11:52:27 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 11:55:39 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 09:14:50 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 14 20:36:11 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun May 31 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 15:29:14 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 19:47:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 07 10:40:35 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 07 10:48:17 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sun Nov 16 15:48:08 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 16 18:11:23 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Thu Nov 12 12:43:48 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 12:43:48 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 21 00:24:49 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 00:24:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 17 18:06:02 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 18:06:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 17 12:18:52 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 12:18:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 23 12:57:13 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 12:57:22 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Sep 15 13:36:18 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 13:36:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 18 14:54:15 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 08:22:58 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 18 14:54:15 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Aug 23 16:59:23 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 23 16:59:23 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 15:47:44 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 15:48:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 06 14:15:56 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 06 14:15:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 20 08:56:24 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 08:56:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 24 00:19:32 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 24 00:19:32 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed May 27 14:37:48 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 14:37:48 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3381201
