Knocking the Stars Senseless is pitched in that restive space between sorrow and delight--a space both verdant and desolated, vertiginous and still. It is a space of attention and consequence, of recognition and reverence.&nbsp;

This book-length poem is a magical realist journey, catalyzed by war and grief. The speaker walks, impelled toward the restorative idea of the stark earthly beauty and purity represented by Antarctica, and toward the love that he knows will be awaiting him. That love, and the creative and magical power it embodies, is both encouraging and sustaining. Of course, the journey takes the protagonist deep into both beauty and evil. The journey is born of desperation, but it is carried out through acts of will and grit and openness to experience, as well as a desire to actively re-envision and recreate reality. Poetry for fans of Gabriel García Márquez, Isabelle Allende, Laura Esquivel, and Pablo Neruda.
