Аннотация:

From celebrated poet Eric Pankey, a collection exploring the presence of the divine in the seemingly ordinary.<br><br>
The ancient Romans practiced augury, reading omens in bird's flight patterns. In the poems of <i>Augury</i>, revelation is found in nature's smallest details: a lizard's quick movements, a tree scarred by lighting, the white curve of a snail's shell. Here the sensory world and the imagined one collide in unexpected and wonderful ways, as Pankey scrutinizes the physical for meaning, and that meaning for truth.<br><br>
With uncommon grace, each of Pankey's precise lyrics advances our shared ontological questions and expresses our deepest contradictions. In a world of mystery, should we focus on finding meaning or creating it? How can the known—and the unknown— be captured in language?<br><br>
<i>Augury</i> is a masterful and magical collection from a poet of stirring intelligence, «a book of stones unstitched from the wolf's belly.»
