Items related to Infinite Altars: Poems
In his second poetry collection, Infinite Altars, James Brasfield tracks restless interplays of light on a fallen feather outside an Italian chapel, the surface of the Gowanus Canal, and a forest footpath after an evening of rain. Atmospheric and reflective, these poems travel with equal ease through the world of fine arts and the places where we live, highlighting the vivid sights and sounds of each in turn.
At a sudden encounter with everyday beauty, serenity suffuses through the author: “Something of that calmness goes with us / back into the world.” Brasfield’s poems invite readers to embrace these unexpected and arresting experiences.

Review:
"In these poems, Nature, always changing, always enigmatic, is like a human face. Brasfield's moving lines decipher the gestures of this captivating and intriguing face, which always has something subtle and deep and real to say about us. Words feel like silences. The air of these enveloping and serene poems enters your lungs and you breathe it for quite a while. Then, you open the book again, for another breath."--Arturo Fontaine, author of La Vida Doble (Arturo Fontaine)
"This book makes one realize anew the power of narration in poetry. In Jim Brasfield's gifted hands it brings to remarkable life the smallest moment, the oldest myth, the acuteness of time."--Vivian Gornick, author of The Odd Woman and the City (Vivian Gornick)
