The Europe of Trusts: Poetry

By Susan Howe

The Europe of Trusts contains three brilliant, long-unavailable books which Susan Howe first published in the early 1980s: The Liberties , Pythagorean Silence , and Defenestration of Prague . These are the landmark books--following her volumes from the previous decade ( Hinge Picture , Chanting at the Crystal Sea , Cabbage Gardens , and Secret History of the Dividing Line )--which established Howe as "one of America's foremost experimental writers" ( Publishers Weekly ). "Her work," as Geoffrey O'Brien put it, "is a voyage of reconnaissance in language, a sounding out of ancient hiding places, and it is a voyage full of risk. 'Words are the only clues we have, ' she has said. 'What if they fail us?'"
