{"product_id":"chariot-9781950268771","title":"Chariot","description":"\u003cb\u003eTimothy Donnelly's fourth collection of poems, \u003ci\u003eChariot\u003c\/i\u003e, ferries the reader toward an endless horizon of questioning that is both philosophical and deeply embodied.\u003c\/b\u003e \"How did we get here?\" he asks in his title poem--one of several in conversation with French symbolist Odilon Redon--to which he responds, \"Unclear, if it matters; what matters \/\/ is we stay--aloft in possible color.\" With a similar sensibility to previous collections \u003ci\u003eThe Problem of the Many \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Cloud Corporation\u003c\/i\u003e (winner of the Kingsley Tufts Award), \u003ci\u003eChariot\u003c\/i\u003e deepens Donnelly's inquiry into artistic histories, from Jean Cocteau to The Cocteau Twins, while celebrating the power of poetic imagination to transport us to new zones of meaning and textual bliss. The collection also marks an exciting shift in form for Donnelly, who confines these new poems to twenty lines each, so that to read \u003ci\u003eChariot\u003c\/i\u003e is to look through a many-paned, future-facing window, refracting and reflecting, letting all the light in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTimothy Donnelly\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Problem of the Many\u003c\/i\u003e (Wave Books, 2019), \u003ci\u003eThe Cloud Corporation\u003c\/i\u003e (Wave Books, 2010), which won the 2012 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award, and \u003ci\u003eTwenty-seven Props for a Production of Eine Lebenszeit \u003c\/i\u003e(Grove, 2003).
