The House of the Devil / Tamas Panitz

In these poems, one feels an urge toward aphorism, as if the world might be held still by its sayings, and the mythic past, with its gods and devils, might be released from its temporal chains. For Tamas Panitz, melancholy hovers over the present as a trail of hungry ghosts; desire and its enemies tangle, and the natural world reaches toward spirit: here is the figure of perfection/and its impatience. A solemn, exquisite collection. –– Ann Lauterbach
