Here, in his fifth book, Paul Mariani uses the trope of the wheel to chart the kinds of losses we all face in living: deaths and separations, lost loves, lost friends, lost happiness. The wheel of fortune, a ferris wheel ridden with a friend now dead, Dante's paradisal wheel, the wheel of the morning sun, by turns call up Hart Crane and Wilfrid Owen, Stevens and Williams, Whitman and Hopkins.
Paul Mariani is the author of seven collections of poetry as well as several biographies and works of prose, including Deaths and Transfigurations: Poems, Gerard Manley Hopkins: A Life, and God and the Imagination: On Poets, Poetry, and the Ineffable. Of his many honors, Mariani has been awarded fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
