Debths

A collection in five parts, Susan Howe’s electrifying new book opens with a preface by the poet that lays out some of Debths’ inspirations: the art of Paul Thek, the Isabella Stewart Gardner collection, and early American writings; and in it she also addresses memory’s threads and galaxies, the rule of remoteness, and the luminous story surrounding all things noumenal. Following the preface are four sections of poetry: Titian Air Vent,
Tom Tit Tot (her newest collage poems), Periscope, and Debths. ? As always with Howe, Debths brings a not-being-in-the-no.
