Peter Sacks traverses morally charged landscapes in poems reminiscent of Rilke and Celan. Through the lens of Peter Sacks's actual journey from a strife-torn South Africa to a haunted and spiritually frayed America,
Necessity travels from remembered heights unblemished by time's weight, through deserts laden by the debris of our mad dreams-progress, conquest, salvation-to arrive at the waters of communal memory, values, and love.
About the AuthorPeter Sacks is the author of six books of poetry. He teaches at Harvard University.
