Michael Palmer's new collection is structured in two parts, What I Did Not Say and Thread, subtitled Stanzas in Counterlight. It begins with a beautiful suite of poems featuring The Master of Shadows (first glimpsed in his 2006 collection The Company of Moths). The counterlight of the title section shines in shafts of Palmer's ever-surprising ironic wit, which is given to sidelong parallel leaps. Several poems in Thread directly address our endless wars, yet even in sorrow and rage the poems still glow with wonder. In multiphonic passages, voices speak from a decentered place, yet are grounded in the central rootedness of the whole history of poetry and culture that has gone before. In his new poems, signature palimpsests create complex cycles of thought, returning and returning via echoes to what he has called the layering process, the process of accretion and the process of emergence.

Über den Autor
Winner of the Shelley Memorial Prize, Michael Palmer (b. 1943) has written twenty-two books of poetry, been translated into dozens of languages, and himself translates from several. He has been called exemplarily radical (John Ashbery), astonishing (Paul Auster), one of America's most important poets: startlingly lyrical and visceral (The Harvard Review), and among America's most elegant-and abstract-heirs to modernist poetry (The Believer).
