<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Götterdämmerung</i> is Len Gasparini's fifteenth book of poetry since the early 1970s. What distinguishes this collection from his earlier work is the long title poem: a tour de force that covers new ground in the genre of ecopoetics by launching an acerbic yet lyrical assault on the Anthropocene. Other poems explore such diverse themes as memory, art, and botany. Also included are three literary essays that evince the importance of language and imagination.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><i>G?tterd?mmerung</i> is Len Gasparini's fifteenth book of poetry since the early 1970s.
