DESCRIPTION

In Is, Wayne Dodd continues his on-going search for a poetry able to incorporate the polyphony of our culture's past, while investigating the insights and implications of quantum physics and the motion and fate of our being. At once lyrical, self-mocking, skeptical, and haunted by loss, Is gives us a complex music and tone for our time.

Distinguished Professor of English at Ohio University, Wayne Dodd is the author of eleven books of poetry and a book for children. He was editor of The Ohio Review from 1972 until 2001. Among his awards and honors are a Rockefeller Residency, an NEA Fellowship, a National Book Critics Circle Award nomination, and the Ohio Governor's Award for the Arts.
