<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"[Norman] Dubie . . . has been recognized as one of the most powerful and influential American poets."--<i>The Washington Post Book World</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>One of our premier poets.--<i>The New York Times</i></p><p>Dubie's dramatic poetry seeks to represent our deepest moments of perception, struggle, and revelation. Out of his voice come the voices of multitudes. Yet his achievement and vision are singular.--<i>American Book Review</i></p><p>The <i>Boston Review</i> called Norman Dubie's poems extraordinary, and the evocative poems of <i>The Volcano</i> certainly are: lyrically intense, hallucinatory, worldly, and precise. In a five-word poem, A New Moon, he laments, I will not see it. But there is much he <i>does</i> see: DNA ladders, Sasquatch, Pontius Pilot's mealy figs, and a calliope of turtles / bobbing in the North Atlantic.</p><p><i>Green fruit on a card table.<br>At the roadside, a small boy<br>gnawing on corn smiles<br>with efficient hunger--no one else<br>is alive for a hundred square miles--<br>the road ruptured above and below him--<br>the jaguar smiles back<br>in a white cap of ash</i></p><p><i>that is also the night . . .</i></p><p><b>Norman Dubie</b> founded the MFA program at Arizona State University. He lives in Tempe, Arizona.</p><br>
