Little Domesday Clock (The Carolina Wren Press Poetry Series, 19) - Softcover
Synopsis
“Little Domesday Clock is a brilliant, sweeping book which, like a time machine, transports a reader back and forth across boundaries of nation and history and, in doing so, exposes and indicts the human agency behind disaster.” ― Lynn Emanuel

Toxic Assets Stroke the Twelfth85 Vast forests have already been sacrificed In the marble halls of the bad bank for this: Now that portions of the glacial ice have calved to reveal stone That hasn’t been exposed for thousands of years, In the secret history of my left eye (which turns, incidentally, emptied & black, like the xeroxed surface of a brook), Coastal cities simply vanish into the sea. The planet’s been knocked off its orbit by half a kilometer, In here, behind this terraqueous globe, under great pressure, I have stored away the tiny pearl of your face. If I were the death of ice, I’d calve. If I were deep waters, the birth of flesh Would be whispered in overtones of fire. If I were Corpus Christi, I’d simply vanish into the sea.
