Sum
Autor Zachariah Wellsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 mai 2015
"A poet of direct speech and muscular lexicon."—Quill & Quire
Nimbly slipping between personae, masks, and moods, the prosody-driven poems of Sum weigh the volatility and mutability of the self against the forces of habit, instinct, and urge. With homages to Hopkins, Graves, Wislawa Szymborska, Paul Muldoon, and more, and in allusion-dappled, playfully sprung stanzas, this third book from poet and critic Zachariah Wells both wears its influences openly and spins a sound texture all its own, in a collection far greater than its parts.
Zachariah Wells is the author of two collections of poetry and a book of criticism (Career Limiting Moves, 2014).

PRAISE FOR SUM
"[Sum] is marked by rhythm that snaps like a snare-drum, punctuated by the occasional rim shot at a line turn ... 'what is grace?' seems to hover, unasked, over the lines; the answer breathes new meaning into an old expression"—ARC Poetry Magazine
