One Two (Paperback)

Paperback. Eva Salzman is a New Yorker, but such is the universal catchment area of her poetry that her living and writing in Britain does not make her either an American or a British poet. Her latest work deals with twins, fate, oracular pronouncements and the conditioning of lives at the hands of the gods. The book includes poems about uncompromising subjects - the destroyed Afghan Buddhas, the unreliability of memory and the Brooklyn Bridge. Another section of the book is made up of runic verses composed in and around music, using her ability to bring to the assembling of poetry some of the sense she has of the way music is put together.
