Popis

I loved this book. I loved it.Nina MacLaughlin, author of Wake, Siren: Ovid ResungA journey through heaven and earth for the questing mind. Navigating from the clockwork music of the spheres to the melismatic celebration of disaster that is the blues, these are poems that map the places where orderly cosmic harmony and dissonance converge.Centuries ago, Johannes Kepler observed that the universe was a form of music. Anthony Walton now expands Keplers vision to include the music of our lives. If only the world were as orderly as Bach, if there were no need for gospel, no need for jazz, no need for the blues. Walton explores how artists such as Thelonious Monkborn into an America South of disorder and chaos made new rules based on African American forms and sounds. As he writes of Monk and bebop jazz: It made me understand that there was more to music thanresolution, that there were other sorts of beauty. That beauty could be pain, and balm could be fit to the jagged shadowsof my experience.This collection offers indelible studies of musical icons: the whiskey voice of Etta James, Glenn Gould as a cosmologist, Louis Armstrong, masked in a smile so bright it had to be a grimace, Miles Davis, one blue note at a time. Throughout, Walton finds cosmic truths in the grit of everyday lifefrom the third shift on a loading dock to the dank nubbed platform of a New York City subway. And there are equally startling moments of clarity when personal, intimate truths are found in physics and the cosmos. Whether his subject is Sir Isaac Newton or street traffic, Walton is always surprising, with humanity and passion in every line. Celestial Mechanics is more than a book of poetry; it is an Ars Poetica for the heart.
