A poet who, according to one reviewer, \" has divined the secret connections between the words,\" Sternberg's voice is unlike any other: witty, earthy, exuberant, inventive. His poems also forgo conventional subjects. Alchemists, mermaids, angels, and \" jongleur\" grasshoppers share space with all manner of eccentrics: a trapeze artist, a pilot who navigates by smell, a millionaire who sneaks into heaven disguised as a camel. At the heart of Sternberg's practice is prestidigitation: the sleight of hand that inheres in effortless turns of phrase, brisk syntax, and bold forms. \" Leave it to me,\" he says to his muse, \" to come up with something \/ that while not highfalutin, \/carries a whiff of the sublime.\" Charismatic and original, Sternberg's enduring work is captured in all of its extraordinary range in this new book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSternberg, Ricardo:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRicardo Sternberg\u003c\/b\u003e's previous books include \u003ci\u003eThe Invention of Honey\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMap of Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBamboo Church\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSome Dance\u003c\/i\u003e.
