About this title

About the Author:

Steven Carter, the only two-time winner of Italy's coveted Nuove Lettere International Poetry and Literature Prize, served as a Senior Fulbright Fellow at two Polish universities. He is Emeritus Professor of English at CSU, Bakersfield.

Review:

Steven Carter has, I believe, made an important contribution to the study of metaphysics in our time. Such a voice ought to be heard. (Arthur J. Spring PhD, St. John's University)

To their credit, Steven Carter's books make honorable attempts to shore against our ruins a devotion to the powers of erudition, critical analysis, and judgement. In the words of Ezra Pound in Canto LXXXI, 'Here error is all in the not done,/all in the diffidence that faltered. . .' For Steven Carter, these are words to live by. (Edwin J. Barton, Bakersfield College)

Steven Carter's triumph is to have established a sort of universal ethic of 'how to be,' while promoting at the same time a holistic view of human beings in individual social, cultural, and psychological contexts. (Amelia de Moura Tavares, University of Lisbon)

Fiction prevails over reality, image over object, machine over man. Such is the process of internalizing the Other that Steven Carter presents in his most disquieting, but nevertheless entertaining works. (Dorota Janowska, Marie Curie-Sklodowska University)

Steven Carter has acquitted himself well. (James Geary, author of All Aphorisms, All The Time and Geary's Guide to the World's Great Aphorists)
