In Not Yet Transfigured, Eric Pankey extends his poetic oeuvre in ways simultaneously foreseeable and fresh. Seeing itself becomes a metaphysical activity in these poems, whether the object in view is the unmediated natural world or a work of art. The influence of poetic masters in the meditative mode such as Yves Bonnefoy, Philippe Jaccottet, and Charles Wright is evident in Pankey's latest collection. Concluding with a major new prose poem, "Landscape in Theory: A Meditation," Not Yet Transfigured is an essential volume for every lover of contemporary poetry.
Eric Pankey is the author of fourteen collections of poems and a book of essays. His work has been supported by fellowships from The John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, The National Endowment for the Arts, The Ingram Merrill Foundation, and The Brown Foundation. He is the Heritage Chair in writing at George Mason University.
