David Appelbaum's latest collection, Manan the Magnificent, is a book-length poem-luminous, somber, tangled-where reflection meets fracture. Appelbaum binds ecstatic utterances with loss and renewal, weaving the everyday's sharp edges (decay, grief, philosophical longing) into passages of unexpected hope. The narrator-as with a glass eye-both sees and does not, suggesting a way of perceiving that's at once attentive and distant, lucid and mystified. For readers who dwell in shadow and light alike, Manan the Magnificent offers lines that echo: things once broken still cast reflection.
