Join us at City Lights for a poetry reading with Loss Pequeño Glazier on Saturday, January 17th at 3:00pm. He will read from his new collection, Ten Thousand Trees: The House Above Bartram's River.On Ten Thousand Trees
Charming isn’t a word that comes up often in discussions of poetry, but there’s an irresistible charm to a work that exclaims, “So, this is what the songbirds / see in me!” Haunted by Whitman, Wordsworth, John Clare and others, Glazier sees the mind as daffodils, hears trees inhaling carbon dioxide, knows the rakish angle of Jupiter’s moons, and notices that rocks linger. The whole book radiates a joy rooted in exceptionally acute attention to the outside world, with respect and affection emanating from every line. – Cole Swensen (And And And)
I am stunned and astounded by the thickness, swiftness, and all around simultaneity of space-time particularity in Loss Pequeño Glazier’s Ten Thousand Trees. Rushing back and forth from text to dictionary (things evoked with such scientific specificity, an education in itself ) I am gasping at this overwhelming demonstration of the multiverse as BuddhaDharma, as described by Dogen as BeingTime and Interpenetration of All in All. In these seven brilliant extended works from the Great Smoky Mountain forests and everywhere else, Glazier shows us all this all at once in the silence and fullness of his self-erasing words. Whitman wrote himself large, but Glazier writes larger, going beyond the visible and imaginable into the ineffable buried in the smallest and largest physical things. — Norman Fischer (When You Greet Me I Bow)
