Riassunto

The title of this s book refers to the prime oneness that Martin Heidegger identifies as earth, sky, divinities, and mortals-the unity of four that fluctuatingly frames existence. To speak of this undulant frame is to use language; and Language, according to Heidegger, is the saying of Being. In this book, verse seeks to reflect the undulance of language; the waves of tentative rhythms and ambiguities collapse, then, into divagation on (1) mimesis vs. metaphor and (2) anagoge: the collapse is then further particularized by anagram-here a calculating play of letters that links the Reformation to the small market (selling shoes, for example).

Su questo libro

L'autore

Those who can, do; those who teach, do something else. Roy Arthur Swanson began dong something else as the principal and upper-grade teacher of Maplewood Elementary School in North St. Paul, Minnesota, and went on to teach Latin at the University of Illinois High School, Classics and English in Indiana University, Classics and Humanities at the University of Minnesota, and Classics and Comparative Literature at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. At Minnesota and Wisconsin-Milwaukee, he received a total of four awards for Distinguished Teaching. Blue Margin is his attempt to learn an approach to spirituality by teaching something about the mystery of words.
