<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The Europe of Trusts contains three brilliant, landmark books which Susan Howe first published in the early 1980s: The Liberties, Pythagorean Silence, and Defenestration of Prague. These are the books -- following her volumes from the previous decade (Hinge Picture, Chanting at the Crystal Sea, Cabbage Gardens, and Secret History of the Dividing Line) -- which established Howe as one of America's most interesting and important contemporary writers. "Her work, " as Geoffrey O'Brien put it, "is a voyage of reconnaissance in language, a sounding out of ancient hiding places, and it is a voyage full of risk. 'Words are the only clues we have, ' she has said. 'What if they fail us?'"<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>As one of the country's leading experimental poets...Howe knows that there is a war-whoop in each dusty narrative and words have the power to emancipate a person from the manacles of one's false self; they have the power to connect the present with the past and form with content.-- "Magill's Literary Annual"<br><br>Howe's images, being historical as well as biographical, have the eerie shading of ghosts half-believed-in, giving...a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere reminiscent of Borges at his sharpest.-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><br>Now a subtle blend, now a violent collision of poetry and scholarship...Howe is staking everything on the venture that theory and practice, artifice and application, are perpetually and messily entwined. It is a proposition that seems self-evident, and at the same time seldom in evidence.--Brian Lemmon "The Boston Review"<br>
