Fossil Sky
David Hinton
An epic poem in the
form of a lyrical map, Fossil Sky is a remarkable creation of originality and
beauty. Composed on a single large sheet, it liberates poetry from the
conventions of page and book. Fossil Sky distills a year of walks taken near
the poet’s home, tracing the paths a mind takes through landscape, history,
and ideation. The poem’s formal daring is combined with an inviting and
direct personal voice, an inner voice adrift-broken up by landscape, space,
time and silence.
David Hinton’s many translations of ancient Chinese poetry have earned wide
acclaim for creating compelling contemporary poetry. He has been awarded a
Guggenheim Fellowship, as well as numerous fellowships from the NEA and the
NEH.
