Landscapes on a Train

Influenced by theÂ history of landscape painting, Cole Swensenâ€™s new book is an experiment in seriality,Â inÂ the different approach and scope that language must take to record the wayÂ thatÂ fluctuations of minutiae transform a whole.Â TheseÂ poems meditate on what it is simply to look at the world, without judgment, without intervention, without appropriation. Swensenâ€™s lyric observations, lilting and delicate, distill the act of seeing.

â€œSwensenâ€™s poetry documents a penetrating â€˜intellectusâ€™â€”light of the mindâ€”by turns fragile, incandescent, transcendent.â€â€”Anne Waldman
