Like Czeslaw Milosz's \u003cem\u003eTreatise on Poetry, The Invisible Fugue\u003c\/em\u003e lyrically reflects on the natural world around us, the possible celebration in the encounter with the other, our confrontation with time and the mysteries ever-present in the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Ellen Hinsey's mind bears witness to an unprecedented ability to never abandon poetry, even when approaching the extreme limits of the darkness of our time. In this \u003cem\u003eInvisible Fugue\u003c\/em\u003e, following step by step the movement of Beethoven's 'Gro e Fuge' Op.133, her poetry ventures into a new, ecstatic dimension, where, 'released from the black chaos of the unmanifest, ' the earth appears as if in the splendor of the first day, beyond all possible destruction.\" -Giorgio Agamben \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"There's an omniscient beauty and wisdom in the intrepid music Ellen Hinsey distills from natural wonder, from spiritual anguish and bewilderment. With roots in Beethoven's most radical, futuristic composition, the \u003cem\u003eGro- e Fuge, \u003c\/em\u003e Hinsey's \u003cem\u003eThe Invisible Fugue...\u003c\/em\u003ecompels as both existential quest and far-reaching cosmic aria. After her previous volume, \u003cem\u003eThe Illegal Age\u003c\/em\u003e, which confronted the chilling unraveling of democracy in our imperiled era, these new 'mystical lyrics' (a decade in the making) arrive as a gust of splendid lyricism...The timeless poise and elegance of Hinsey's profound and sibylline project, enhanced by her masterly command of cadence and lineation-artfully crafted in the face of carnage, fear, spiritual outcry, and earthly chaos-is unmatched by any other English language poet writing today.\" -Cyrus Cassells, author of\u003cem\u003e The World That the Shooter Left Us\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"If a Fugue is something you hear, what is \u003cem\u003eThe Invisible Fugue\u003c\/em\u003e of Ellen Hinsey's? It is a sourceless source, and this mystery-an 'unlikely coming into being'-is what animates the lyrics of this collection. I've read Hinsey's work for years, and every time the language and form feel constitutional, something upon which to be made, or unmade. \u003cem\u003eThe Invisible Fugue \u003c\/em\u003eis no different: Hinsey looks for 'the fixed point of the unexpected' and manages to hold a tone both urgent and unhurried; fugitive and full of feeling; filled with knowing and filled beyond knowing.\" -P疆raig ﾓ Tuama, host of \u003cem\u003ePoetry Unbound\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Ellen Hinsey's poetry balances between a deep engagement with the socio-political world and a rich inner realm. This collection stands out for its distinct mysticism-yet remains non-religious-characterized by its restrained poetic diction, minimalism, and musical elegance. It's a stylized, empathetic lyricism of artful gesture...A masterful fugue of the \u003cem\u003evia negativa\u003c\/em\u003e.\"-Jaroslaw Pluciennik, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Courage of Poetics\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 9.25 x 7.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 30, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47404834685106,"sku":"9781961741089","price":29.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/2b842d64270909af193ca2e15179d003.webp?v=1778170330","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-invisible-fugue-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
