Opis

THE INFANT SCHOLAR is an homage to those born brilliant and vulnerable, who carry around with them a great comprehension at odds with their youth. Disclosing facts unearthed while panning the world for gold, these poems yield diamonds that deflected bullets, sewn into the Romanov corsets, or an early flight to the moon with a chimpanzee at the helm; Iphigenia saying goodbye to her beloved daylight, and Edward R. Murrow describing what soldiers heard as they entered prison camps at the end of World War II: "the handclapping of babies."
