Wordglass

In this exquisitely thoughtful little collection, Robert Kramer guides his readers, holding aloft a lantern lit by lucid verse and canny eye, through night, through fog, through mist, to the secret place where we surprise Life: fast asleep, and fitfully dreaming. This urbane poet has brought us along on a search for understanding, and with him we have done much spelunking into the caverns of the soul. - Donald Lev, poet, publisher of "Home Planet News" "Robert Kramer offers this collection, entitled "Wordglass," replete with sensitive similes that convey deeply felt and liminal experiences, many of them erotic. Most of these poems also feature instances of a final image that is shocking, grotesque, or improbable, yet very real." - Laurence Nannery, author of "The Estoteric Composition of Kafka's Corpus" "These twenty-three poems are meant to be read with pleasure. But to fully appreciate them, read them out loud - and discover our wonders - and Kramer's pleasures, honoring poets we all applaud, German and French poets of our time and sensitivity, and intelligence. In fact not only will these poems give you unexpected pleasures, but they will also allow you to delve into Kramer's multiple sensitivities and talents." - Serge Gavronsky, Professor of French Literature, Barnard College, Columbia University, New York
