Virgil and the Mountain Cat : Poems
At once uncompromising and highly inventive, David Lau\'s poems are imbued with a musicality that lightens the dark undertones of spoliation and entropy.Many of the poems embody a nexus of interaction with historical events, films, modernist poetic texts, and works of art-but from this allusion and evocation, a multifarious voice emerges.In these pages, the electric linguistic experiment meets a new urban, postnatural poetics, one in which poetry is not just a play of signs and seemings but also a prismatic investigation of our contemporary order: \"Hurry up before our factory leaves. / The first column of the Freedom Tower / traduces its ensorcellment in the facade.\" Here is a poetry both deeply lyrical and resistant, a poetry relentless in its invention and its stance against the apathy of convention and consumption.
