Description
A son is born early, as if coming up over the horizon before his own dawn. An elderly father lingers at life's other horizon. These poems use language which is dense and clear, playful and sombre, with an emotional amplitude which is suggestive of Behn's own musical training.
Reviews / Votes
Horizon Note turns speech into music, even as it resists and questions the slippery, beloved, difficult stuff it's made of Behn makes live, breathing art out of language's terrible limitations, the paradoxical ways it both enables and betrays us. - Mark DotyMore details
