The author studied at Penn State, where he played no football, and Iowa, where he skirted the Workshop. He found God, lysergic acid, and despair in the Sixties, survived by getting that era into his art-some nineteen novels, twelve verse plays and more poetry than Browning.The Will to Christ contains ambition, a paean to bipolar disorder, four dramatic monologues by major players in the genesis and termination of the only messiah he’s known, poetry on a sustained level that is often frightening.While the author has two other books and over a hundred poems in print, another ninety wouldn’t offer a tenth of what this great long-poem rewards in continued reading. Here is an epic, twenty-two years in the making, that summons even Milton. The latter would be clearly horrified.

  • Rothko
    david swartz
    'Rothko,' the title long-poem of this slim volume, is an attempt to crystallize 20 texts on a very elusive major 'abstract expressionist' (a designation of which the artist himself derived scant satisfaction) into a dramatic monologue in a wholly new verse form, 33 sections of 6 couplets of nearly identical length lines, each section preceded by a brief haiku-like quotation fro...

  • Pieta`
    david swartz
    Pieta`: Song of the Blessed Virgin is the culminating volume of a master poet, who has charted his own truth and passage through the thicket of lesser work, of a host of contemporaries with limited pith and vision, venal ambition, a dogged tendency to measure themselves against peers and seldom the truly great. Witness here some sample rejections: 'Your work has great power an...

  • Triptych
    david swartz
    Triptych begins with 3 quasi-Biblical dramatic poems, all dark, all convincing, an atavistic testimony to the harshness of an ancient Creator who exacts horror from his children, an unsettling tribute few will recognize from their childhood instruction, if any, in the ways of the elder Testament. The Daughter of Jephthah is the 1st, a fleshing out of the story of a man who trad...
