An Anatomy of the Night is a magnificent work by one of America's foremost poets. In thirty-one parts written between December 2010 and February 2011, Eshleman's long poem creates a choral effect that masterfully evokes fragments of candid observation shimmering in rhythmic intensity. In bold simplicities, illustrative sensibilities and lyrical integrity this work is imaginative, intimate and beautifully controlled. Hauntingly, these poems rip open the space of the long form poem and create something new and brilliant.
