A glass eye reflects without seeing.The Glass Eye is a book-length poem that binds ecstatic utterances in its narrative with worldly dramas of a life. Beginning in a long moment of descent, it is a story of deaths and resurrections, resignation and hope, brutal, luminous, foreseeing.The Glass Eye makes a large statement. The narrator alternates between stern interlocutor and ardent novitiate. The work stretches to encompass the central paradox of the human condition, a perspective that juxtaposes the deepest human wish against the vast forces that shape and thwart it.
