Meadowlark West

This magical poetry creates a contemporary urban bucolic in its electric transitions between city and wilderness, human design and the natural world. Lamantia combines savage satire with a intense lyricism. These poems open the coiled dream door of the labyrinth to apocalyptic terrors, catastrophes of the political world, old myths of the earth, the sublimity of birds, the wild West, the commune of anarchs and the regenerative power of love.
