Glassworks

By David Wojahn

Book Overview

Glassworks continues to explore concerns expressed in Wojahn's first book, Icehouse Lights. The tone of many of the poems is elegiac, and the poems are constructed to present an argument with memory, an investigation of the meaning of the past. They create a landscape where the past of the speaker merges with the lives of family members, lovers, and figures as diverse as Mark Rothko, Pablo Neruda, Wilhelm Reich, and the rock singer Jim Morrison.
