Vanishing-Line: Poems

By Jeffrey Yang

Book Overview

Night garden, moon
calendar, soft mint scent.
Warm wind, silent. Gold,
silver debris.
--from "Yennecott"

Jeffrey Yang's second collection of poems is an exploration of the various lines--horizon line, time line, blood line, poetic line--beyond which so much vanishes from sight, from memory. With historical documentation, lyrical association, and artistic virtuosity, Yang creates a collage of elegies, losses that are private and those that define our nation. Vanishing-Line is an ambitious book by one of the most fascinating new poets in America.
