Publisher Marketing: The poet brings his fascination with formal poetry to 21st century subjects -- internet culture, science, postmodern architecture -- even as he also explores intimacy, gay love, and emotionally-charged objects in this bilingual (Polish/English) collection. Dehnel's range of style and diction includes poems based on the classic Polish thirteen-syllable line and intricate rhyming stanzas, to prose poems and freer lyrics. "My restlessness... is one of my strongest traits--that insatiability for places, books, paintings, people," he says.
