Riassunto

Walter Benjamin had the heart of a poet, and Tways served the imagination first. Spring Ulmer finds him there, in the imagination, and recognizes him as another being of language---of its angels and demons. This is a poetry from the world Benjamin left behind, with all us unspeakable delights and lerrors, conspirances and heartbreaks---thimblefuls of relations and inner -conversations among a host of disponted survivors. This is poetry unhanging itself unburying itself into being.---David Levi

"In its deepest structure I see a theater piece, a multiplicity of acts and voices, all gathered around the hole of history. Which one is Orpheus? Who is the lost one? What is the air? Something like a highly polished wood instrument---with its waxy strings shining like spectacles in light---starts to play. Benjamin is Orpheus: he is both Eurydice and the stringed music. The scenes unfold in multiple forms. The poet runs in an out, trailing her own personal history, and directs her troupe. This is a beautiful production you can enjoy, admire and applaud." ---Fanny Howe

"I don't understand what's in this disturbing, scary, and strangely light-footed book, but I believe it." ---John Berger
