Sinopsis

'Hang-Gliding from Helicon' presents more than forty new poems by Daniel Hoffman and a generous selection from six of his previous books. Hoffman?s poetry is a celebration of life, yet some of his poems have dark implications. 'The City of Satisfactions' is a journey into the haunted heart of the American dream. 'The Center of Attention' portrays a suicidal man being taunted by a crowd to jump from a bridge, and 'Witnesses' explores the aftermath of a car wreck on a desolate stretch of rural highway. Each of Hoffman?s poems represents a striking response to the moments of being alive. 'Hang-Gliding from Helicon' affirms the power of poetry to make possible the acceptance and transformation of life. Daniel Hoffman has given us the remarkable statement of his deep poetic faith.
