Eyelevel: Fifty Histories

by Christopher Matthews

These fifty poems explore the primacy of perspective, both that of the poetry and those of a diverse array of individuals, historical and contemporary. Syd Lea wrote in the foreword, “Here was a writer after my heart, one whose command of canonical Anglophone poetry was patent, but also one whose use of great traditions―especially of the dramatic lyric―was sui generis….so fresh and virtuosic as to seem all but absolutely new in my experience.”
