Modern Love: Songs

By Thomas Meyer

Poetry. "Recitative is speaking. Song is repeating." With this enigmatic declaration, Thomas Meyer begins MODERN LOVE: SONGS, rewriting Dante's Vita Nuova for a new age. "Song," declares the poet, "go find Love / and have him take you / to my love and sing / my praises." In these songs, Meyer manifests anew his protean masteries in a series of sonnets and prose ruminations that attest to the powers of new love in later life. "Something woke up deep inside me," telling the poet, "Watch, wait, when / I arrive I will look like Spring."
