In David Greenberg's Planned Solstice, the natural and material worlds are provocatively juxtaposed, so as to affirm serious explorations of our place within them. Greenberg's considerations are vast, invigorating, and challenging; his poems take on charged historical and political subjects-civil wars at home and abroad, the World Trade Center's destruction, issues of race and difference-and handle them with utter aplomb and freshness. |
