Bøker av Aaron Anstett

From the vantage point of his window on humanity's breathlessly accelerating runaway train, Aaron Anstett records the fast receding frames as they flit by, and asks vital questions like "what now," "how do you know," and "why does God allow dry stuffing?" Yet the busily bopping, unpunctuated ribbon of his verse traces in meditative endlessness a shape outside itself, that of a vast engulfing silence.

"Culture''s cloud chamber and its millions of random vectors drive Aaron Anstett''s INSOFAR AS HERETOFORE. ''Whatever scintillants'' he calls them in ''One Theory,'' an exclamation that''s half-prayer and half come-and-get-me bravado. The poems catch our socio-linguistic lightning flashes, at times fusing the erotic and the spiritual. This book is original and beautiful."—Michael Heller

Winner of The Backwaters Prize for 2004. "Now I'd like to add to that list of singular poets the name of Aaron Anstett, whose book No Accident is unlike any book of American poems I've ever read before."--Philip Levine, from the Judge's statemen
