Download or read book Science & Steepleflower written by Forrest Gander and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A breakthrough book for award-winning poet Forrest Gander, whose richness of language and undaunted lyric passion place him in traditions ranging from Emily Dickinson to Michael Ondaatje. His poems in leading journals plumb the erotic depths of human interaction with the land. The poems in SCIENCE & STEEPLEFLOWER test this relationship with what PUBLISHERS WEEKLY has called "an inbred (and often haunting) spirituality", bringing us to new vistas of linguistic and perceptive grace.
