Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In Doing Lucretius, Sidney Burris crosses a sensibility shaped by a classical education with a contemporary culture that finds such an education increasingly remote and forbidding. Molding his artistry and buttressing his response to modern society with the literature of the ancient world, Burris displays in his work an unabashed reverence for the various traditions, literary, cultural, familial, that guide him, but maintains that these conventions must now and again be interrogated and overthrown.The poems trace several themes through the poet's boyhood to the threshold of his middle age: fiight, escape, distance, cultural displacement, themes that are strained by the counter-pressures of literary, political, and artistic impulses. The desire for fiight and its attendant concerns are foremost among these motifs, fiight to the sea, to love in all its varied and alluring forms, even to dying in its many manifestations.With these modes of motion comes an obsession with historical characters who have had their own travails resolved by fiight, both psychological and actual: Achilles, Ulysses, Circe, and above all Lucretius, Virgil, and Dante, the perennial sustainers. There are also friendships recorded throughout the volume that arise out of the poet's deep need for a passionate community of nourishing relationships to help him survive the difficulties of a well-lived life, which he describes in ""The Celebration"" as ""the art / of living art / as if art's enough.""Blending southern narrative language with the melodic intensity of the impassioned lyric voices of the classical world, Doing Lucretius is a profound and deeply satisfying collection. The poems in this work trace several themes through Sidney Burris's boyhood to the threshold of his middle age: flight, escapism, distance, cultural displacement - themes that are strained by the counterpressures of literary, political and artistic impulses.
