Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This is a new voice we will all be blessed for hearing.--Susan Griffin.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. "Emily Warn is one tough poet. . . . She not only takes on God but also juggles the hot coals of memory and wrestles her way to an honest spiritual life."--The Seattle Times "Warn has created a serious meditation on Jewish prayer and cosmogony, in lyrical prose and in accessible verse, a book that belongs not only on poetry shelves, but amid other Judaica and books of prose and verse on religious themes." --Publishers Weekly ".a sincere exploration of spirituality and the line between the abstract and the concrete." --Library Journal How are words made, and how do they derive power? These are the questions at the core of Emily Warn's Shadow Architect, organized around the twenty-two-letter Hebrew alphabet. Mystics have seen that alphabet as a key to divine intent, since God brought the world into being through speech. But Warn takes a poet's view rather than a theologian's: she sees the alphabet's power to reveal the nature of invention, and the limits of language and knowledge. Shadow Architect channels this power not only through word but through image: each poem begins with an illumination of a Hebrew letter. Within the set boundaries of this alphabet, Warn generates a rich polyphony, uniting her own distinctly American poetics with the language of sacred texts and commentaries. The result is an alluring, postmodernist take on how language means: an architecture not only of shadows, but of "correspondences, analogies, clues, / binaries, metaphors, keys." To invent the alef-beit, decipher the grammar of crows, read a tangle of bare branches with vowels of the last leaves scrawling their jittery speech on the sky's pale page. Emily Warn, author of two previous books of poetry, lives in Seattle and Chicago, where she is the editor of the Poetry Foundation's website.…
