The Breeze Behind the Breeze

By Joseph Donahue

The Breeze Behind the Breeze calls up a world on the edge of a revelation, where the unseen furtively and fervently composes the seen. Unexpected emotions arise in the flow of a poetry that slides between the surreal and the real, from a search for a lost dog in Cincinnati to sunken continents, a rehab clinic to an Egyptian tomb, and onward into the life to come. From a breeze behind a breeze comes word of celestial origins and earthly motions. Drawing on a range of aesthetic and spiritual traditions, Joseph Donahue asks us to consider the world behind the world we see, a world revealed in vivid particulars, in various voices, and in dreams that propose we begin, end, and perhaps continue in an ever-expanding cosmos.
