From the publisher, on English Fragments:
Moving freely through poetry’s pictorial fragmentariness and literal fragments of prose, with a streaming, equanimous, nondiscriminatory referentiality, Corless-Smith proposes and confers with entities in “the janus-faced doorway” of antiquity and contemporaneity; inference and exposition; soul and body—the “experience and the coming-into-history of that experience.”.
