Polynomials and Pollen: Parables, Proverbs, Paradigms and Praise for Lois: Parab

Description: Polynomials and Pollen: Parables, Proverbs, Paradigms and Praise for Lois by Jay Wright "Wright invites us to roam the cultures of the transatlantic world, to speak and know many tongues, to partake of the rituals through which we may be initiated into modes of individual and communal enhancement. In yet another age of great uncertainty, Wright enables us to imagine that breaking the vessels of the past is more an act of uncovering than of sheer destruction, and that we need not necessarily choose between an intellectual and a spiritual life, for both can still be had." -- Robert B. Stepto FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A gift for his wife, Jay Wrights Polynomials and Pollen explores the complementary exigencies of abstraction and physicality. In five sections, each arranged under the aegis of a tutelary concept--from the Yoruba, Akan, Bamana, and N huatl--the book is a constellation of protophilosophical inquiry into notions of order, disarray, evidence, flowering, and return; it is also a dynamically visceral work whose feelingtones register rage as well as devotion. Author Biography Wright was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He is the recipient of a 1986 MacArthur Fellowship. Review "Wright invites us to roam the cultures of the transatlantic world, to speak and know many tongues, to partake of the rituals through which we may be initiated into modes of individual and communal enhancement. In yet another age of great uncertainty, Wright enables us to imagine that breaking the vessels of the past is more an act of uncovering than of sheer destruction, and that we need not necessarily choose between an intellectual and a spiritual life, for both can still be had." -- Robert B. Stepto Review Quote "Wright is an intellectual poet, a poets poet, upon whose tabula rasa may be read influences of Dante, Eliot, the African griots, Alejo Carpentier, and Nicolas Guillen."
