Description

Peter Sacks tracks his morally charged journey across the conflictual landscape of his native South Africa to a spiritually frayed America, creating poems rimmed with terror, guilt, and a persistent search for ethical and physical beauty. In this stunning collection, the poet descends from South Africa's verdant mountain heights, where time is not yet felt in its full destructive weight, to pass through arid wastes into an American terrain that gleams and beckons despite its apparent void. Pushing past the experience of hunger and dreams of plentitude, he moves into a region where the river of history is transformed. Here memory can awaken the traveler to a world on the far side of historical disillusionment. In Necessity, memory is soothing when personal, but irredeemably painful when communal. Sacks ultimately arrives at that oceanic place where justice and injustice seem at last to gleam as two sides of a single terrifying face. Book jacket.
