{"product_id":"9781889330587","title":"Twice Removed: Poems","description":"\u003cbr\u003ePoems, said Robert Lowell, should be events, not records of events. The poems of\u003ci\u003e Twice Removed\u003c\/i\u003e are events, set in the \"bright between,\" that place between short days and long shadows, between past and future, between the inviolate self and the public person.\u003cp\u003eIn this third collection, Angel writes the arias of our subtext, provoking in the reader the recognition of longings just beyond reach of articulation. And though his poems are addressed to complexity, the language is not obscure: Angel's intense, visionary lyricism arrives in a seamless weave of elegance and streetwise savvy, the cadences somehow hypnotic and urgent at once. This is a poet with the audacity to push the very limits of the American idiom in order to say things that could not previously be said, using sounds not previously heard. Ralph Angel stands as an American original, and \u003ci\u003eTwice Removed\u003c\/i\u003e is a book that will expand his already large and passionate audience of readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRalph Angel \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of two previous collections of poetry: \u003ci\u003eNeither World\u003c\/i\u003e, which received the 1995 James Laughlin Award of The Academy of American Poets, and \u003ci\u003eAnxious Latitudes\u003c\/i\u003e, which was published in the Wesleyan University Press New Poets Series. His work has been collected in numerous anthologies, including \u003ci\u003eThe Best American Poetry,\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eNew American Poets of the '90s\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eForgotten Language: Contemporary Poets and Nature\u003c\/i\u003e.
