Here the devil is encountered and understood- I see the devil's head, people, I see his whole body . . . he longs for innocence, as we do. Here the poet juggles many tones, languages, and countries. Desire is evoked as both frustrating and exhilarating- I'm watered by longing, knocking my head into the wall, on the ground, or I burn, burn, folded up on the couch. And memory comes back to remind us of the laws and experiences of childhood- Once again you are let loose in the sea only after five o'clock in the afternoon to take a dose of sunlight like the ticking of the clock. At once daring and clear-voiced, The Book for My Brother is an extraordinary achievement. </div> 655793 3 4 2006 The Book for My Brother total:51|5:22|4:18|3:7|2:3|1:1| 51 210 76 9 4 0 false false Sat Jun 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 21 18:48:40 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 21:03:11 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 1 0 false false Fri Aug 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 22:42:09 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 22:53:13 -0700 2009 dislike. As I read them in translation, I will allow that the originals might be better but I doubt I'll be looking for more of this poet's work.]]> 3 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jun 18 12:51:35 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 12:52:39 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Apr 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 04 13:21:25 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 04 13:21:56 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jun 13 16:04:32 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 25 08:56:59 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Nov 26 10:14:50 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 04 09:29:10 -0800 2008 2 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jul 27 12:22:22 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 27 12:23:39 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Jul 09 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 26 19:19:28 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 12 08:35:59 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Dec 11 21:38:06 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 11 21:38:38 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Sun Nov 15 08:54:46 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 08:54:46 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 13 12:16:58 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 12:16:58 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 26 21:00:03 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 19:18:35 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Aug 16 09:59:22 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 09:59:22 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Aug 04 06:40:57 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 06:40:57 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jul 12 21:05:58 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 21:05:58 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jul 12 18:51:46 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 18:51:46 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jul 10 08:54:48 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 08:54:48 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 18 19:31:01 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 19:31:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 21 01:20:11 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 01:20:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 15 19:11:50 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 19:11:50 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=669757
