In this mesmeric retelling of The Fisher King, celebrated poet and essayist Rebecca Tamás makes a call for attention to and connection with the natural world.
In Rebecca Tamás's remarkable second poetry collection, a grieving, unnamed narrator walks a broken hero's journey through green woods and coastlines, accompanied by the elusive figure of the Fisher King, who nurses his own wound. Along the way, a litany of thinkers--from Anne Carson to St. Silouan the Athonite to John Berger--act as guides and interlocutors.
Drawing on medieval story cycles and giving them a contemporary, intertextual spin, The Fisher King is an avid capturing of the splinters of time and light, and a singing document calling for the knowledge of humans' interconnectedness with other beings, history, and the future. How, the book asks, can we be apart, but closely?
